This is a subtle and evocative study of character and relationships. I read it some 40 years ago as I was improving my French, which forced me to absorb it attentively at a slower rate and probably enjoy it more. ( ) Sobre el fondo del mundo teatral y artístico del París de la primera mitad del siglo XX, Simone de Beauvoir recrea con sólido talento la creación, evolución y disgregación de un triángulo amoroso formado por dos adultos y una jovencita que, a su vez, sirve a la autora para poner en cuestión el modelo burgués de pareja y de familia. En esta impactante novela aparecen ya los grandes temas que caracterizan la obra de Simone de Beauvoir (la libertad, la acción y la libertad individuales), y la profundidad de los personajes y la exploración acerca de sus sentimientos que lleva a acabo la autora convierten La invitada en una de sus mejores obras. And wanted to see how Ms de Beauvoir treated it in her fiction. Reading this semi-autobiographical novel did give me a look at a practical application of that philosophy. Oh, and it's also a very interesting story. Francoise and Pierre have a deep and open relationship. They befriend a young woman (Xaviere) but their attempts to create a “perfect triangle” are unsuccessful. Partly because their philosophy doesn't align well with human nature. And partly because Xaviere herself is a narcissist – or maybe she's just young when most of us are that way to some extent. The depth of human emotions and motivations portrayed though the characters' iterations is fascinating to watch. Through the novel, we see Francoise change from someone devoted to her partner and to a philosophy, to someone who comes into her own as a person. So glad I read this. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Written as an act of revenge against the 17 year-old who came between her and Jean-Paul Sartre, She Came to Stay is Simone de Beauvoir's first novel - a lacerating study of a young, naive couple in love and the usurping woman who comes between them. 'It is impossible to talk about faithfulness and unfaithfulness where we are oncerned. You and I are simply one. Neither of us can be described without the other.' It was unthinkable that Pierre and Francoise should ever tire of each other. And yet, both talented and restless, they constantly feel the need for new sensations, new people. Because of this they bring the young, beautiful and irresponsible Xavière into their life who, determined to take Pierre for herself, drives a wedge between them, with unforeseeable, disastrous consequences... Published in 1943, 'She Came to Stay' is Simone de Beauvoir's first novel. Written as an act of revenge against the woman who nearly destroyed her now legendary, unorthodox relationship with the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, it fictionalises the events of 1935, when Sartre became infatuated with seventeen-year old Olga Bost, a pupil and devotee of de Beauvoir's. Passionately eloquent, coolly and devastatingly ironic, 'She Came to Stay' is one of the most extraordinary and powerful pieces of fictional autobiography of the twentieth century, in which de Beauvoir's 'tears for her characters freeze as they drop.' unorthodox relationship with the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, it fictionalises the events of 1935, when Sartre became infatuated with seventeen-year old Olga Bost, a pupil and devotee of de Beauvoir's.
