Krátky popis
'Life without her would be death' The lost novel from the author of
The Second Sex published in English for the first time. The
compulsive story of two friends growing up and falling apart.
INTRODUCED BY DEBORAH LEVY When Andree joins her school, Sylvie is
immediately fascinated. Andree is small for her age, but walks with
the confidence of an adult. Under her red coat, she hides terrible
burn scars. And when she imagines beautiful things, she gets
goosebumps... Secretly Sylvie believes that Andree is a prodigy
about whom books will be written. The girls become close. They talk
for hours about equality, justice, war and religion; they lose
respect for their teachers; they build a world of their own. But
they can't stay like this forever. Written in 1954, five years
after The Second Sex, the novel was never published in Simone de
Beauvoir's lifetime. This first English edition includes an
afterword by her adopted daughter, who discovered the manuscript
hidden in a drawer, and photographs of the real-life friendship
which inspired and tormented the author. 'Gorgeously written,
intelligent, passionate, and in many ways foreshadows such
contemporary works as Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend' Oprah
