The loving friendship between Simone de Beauvior and Jean-Paul Sartre lasted for over half a century and ended with Sartre's death in 1980. "Adieux", Simone de Beauvior's final celebration of their life together, is a devastatingly frank account of the last years of Sartre's life and his death. It also consists of long conversations which they taped in 1974 at the onset of his increasing blindness, in which, under de Beauvior's gentle probing, Sartre expresses himself fully - on women and politics, his childhood, religion and food.

About the Author:
SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR was born in Paris in 1908. In 1929 she became the youngest person ever to obtain the agrégation in philosophy at the Sorbonne, placing second on the exam to Jean-Paul Sartre. She taught at lycées in Marseille and Rousen from 1931 to 1937, and in Paris from 1938 to 1943. After World War II, she emerged as one of the leaders of the existentialist movement, working with Sartre on Les Temps Modernes. The author of many acclaimed works, de Beauvoir was one of the most influential thinkers of her generation. She died in 1986.
