Wartime diary
Beauvoir, Simone de, 1908-19862009
Book
"Written from September 1939 to January 1941, Simone de Beauvoir's Wartime Diary gives English readers unabridged access to one of the scandalous texts that threaten to overturn traditional views of Beauvoir's life and work. Beauvoir's account of her clandestine affair with Jacques Bost and sexual relationships with various young women challenges the conventional picture of Beauvoir as the devoted companion of Jean-Paul Sartre, just as her account of completing her novel She Came to Stay at a time when Sartre's philosophy in Being and Nothingness was barely begun calls into question the traditional view of Beauvoir's novel as merely illustrating Sartre's philosophy. "
