It's an overarching chronicle of Sartes last years and his political & personal affiliations and, his deteriorating mental and physical condition. His behavior may be typical of one reaching the end of his life: sharply alternating between hopeful optimism, denial, apathy and self-loathing but it's clear that Sarte had a passion for life and his maintained lucidity and penetrating intellect remained almost completely intact. De Beauvoir is sweet and uncritical (almost to a fault) as she presents Sarte it's a frank and touching eulogy to a close friend, from one of the 20th century's most prominent intellectuals to another. The second part is the bulk of the book and consists of interviews with Sarte during 1974, 6 years before he died. Those who are familiar with Sarte won't find anything here that's new or shocking but it was nice to read him speaking so candidly. De Beauvoir was quite engaging as well in these conversations. I think I'll reread Being & Nothingness next as this book has put me in the mood for Sarte and I'm ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE TIME TO READ now that the summer is beginning. this is simone de beauvoir story to the last years of statre's life. she loved him deeply but she was also true to you she was. it is both sad and joyful. this is your last sentence of the book: "his death does separate us. my death will not bring us together again. that is how things are. it is itself splendid that we were able to live our lives in harmony for so long." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
From the Dust Jacket: In Adieux: A Farewell to Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir uses Jean-Paul Sartre's last ten years as a focus for understanding his entire life. Through her eyes, we see an intimate portrait of the man who was widely recognized as one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century-the foremost philosopher of existentialism, a Nobel Prize-winning playwright, and a central figure in almost every major philosophical, political, literary, and social issue of our time. De Beauvoir was Sartre's closet friend, his intellectual companion, and, intermittently, his lover, from his early twenties until his death. It is she who tells his story in Adieux. She begins with a year-by-year memoir of Sartre's last decade: his political involvements, his work on Flaubert, his friendships, his relationship with her, his slow demise. The second and longer part of the book is a conversation between Sartre and De Beauvoir about his entire life and work. Unguarded, lucid, and incisive, Sartre talks about the origins of his philosophy, the inspiration for his fiction, and the conviction behind his activism. But more than a philosophical book, Adieux is a personal dialogue of astonishing candor. Sartre openly discusses his relationships with women-a subject which seems to pain De Beauvoir even now; his ugliness; his fear of passion. And in one of the most moving passages in Adieux, De Beauvoir anticipates Sartre's death. She knows he is dying, but she cannot tell him. Existentialism's acceptance of death does not console her. Adieux reveals the inner Sartre and the inner De Beauvoir, and illuminates one of the most extraordinary relationships of our century. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
