A novel by the great French existentialist and feminist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir representing a fictionalised account of her relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre. Inscribed by the translator Roger Senhouse in violet ink to the front free endpaper.
Some faint spotting to endpapers and edges of text block, page 15/16 roughly dog eared, otherwise internally clean and unmarked, jacket rather edge worn with substantial loss to head of spine panel, two discreet tape repairs to verso, still a bright example of the striking dust jacket designed by Victor Reinganum.
