'A WALK THROUGH THE LIFE OF SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR'
This book answers the question "Who was Simone de Beauvoir?", But it is not the most important one.
These pages do not contain a biography to use.
Here, Beauvoir is not only one of the most famous personalities of the 20th century, but a woman whose experience continues to have echoes in the lives of today's women.
That is precisely the novelty of this book: the steps of Beauvoir do not stay in the past, isolated in May 68 or in his romance with Jean-Paul Sartre, but move to the way of walking and seeing of young women of the 21st century.
From her childhood to her maturity, when she became an icon, the life of the French author expands in this book to reach our days, checking the timeliness of his teachings.
