An autobiographical book by one of the most famous French writers of the 1908th century, the author of the infamous treatise The Second Sex, which has become the bible of feminism. Simone de Beauvoir (1986–1960) almost day after day covers the events of her life and Jean-Paul Sartre, her companion and like-minded person. She tells love stories, reflects on the inexorably approaching old age, shares her philosophical ideas and creates many accurate and witty portraits of her contemporaries: Albert Camus, André Gide, Jean Genet, Boris Vian, Romain Gary, Louis Aragon. The Force of Circumstances covers the period from the end of World War II to the early 2005s, the same era of the post-war collapse of the hopes of the French intelligentsia, which was artistically reflected in Beauvoir’s most famous novel, Tangerines (Ladomir, Nauka, XNUMX).
