Full description for Letters to Sartre

• In 1983 de Beauvoir published Sartre's letters, and when asked about her own letters to him, she replied that they had been lost. But after her death, her literary executor and adopted daughter, Sylvie Le Bon Beauvoir, stumbled upon a parcel of faded letters addressed to "Monsieur Sartre". The publication of these letters caused a storm of controversy in Paris, because they seemed to reveal de Beauvoir as a manipulative and dependent women. What comes through strongly is that she was vulnerable, passionate, jealous and committed. Frank and uncensored, they show de Beauvoir experimenting with her freedom within her love for Sartre, and trace the emotional and triangular complications of her life with him.
