Inseparables Inseparable by Beauvoir Simone (17 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. Una novela inédita, muy íntima, de la gran autora francesa ganadora del Premio Goncourt e icono del feminismo. Finalista del French-American Florence Gould Translation Prize Escrita en 1954, cinco años después de la publicación de El segundo sexo, Las inseparables narra la amistad apasionada que une a Sylvie y a Andrée -alter ego de la propia Simone de Beauvoir y de Élisabeth Lacoin (Zaza)- desde que con nueve años se conocen en la escuela. Andrée es alegre, inteligente y atrevida, y Sylvie, una niña formal que se siente irremediablemente atraída por su personalidad arrolladora. Juntas aprenderán a librarse de las convenciones y las expectativas asfixiantes de su entorno, ignorantes del trágico precio que tienen la libertad y la ambición intelectual y existencial. Una historia catártica para la autora, tal vez demasiado reveladora para publicarla en vida, cuya recuperación -junto con algunas fotografías y cartas que sirven de testimonio- constituye un acontecimiento literario. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An unpublished, very intimate novel by the great French author, an icon for feminism, and winner of the Prix Goncourt. Finalist for the French-American Florence Gould Translation Prize Written in 1954, five years after the publication of The Second Sex, Las inseparables / The Inseparables narrates the passionate friendship between Sylvie and Andrée -alter egos of Simone de Beauvoir herself and Élisabeth Lacoin (Zaza) -starting when they met at school at nine years old. Andrée is cheerful, intelligent, and daring, and Sylvie, a formal girl who is irremediably attracted by Andrée's overwhelming personality. Together they will learn to rid themselves of society's stifling conventions and expectations, naïve about the tragic price that freedom and intellectual and existential ambition have. A cathartic story for the author, perhaps too revealing to publish during her lifetime. The recovery of this manuscript -along with some photographs and letters that serve as testimony- represents a great literary event.…
