Tete-a-Tete: The Tumultuous Lives and Loves of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre
Autor Hazel Rowleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 oct 2006
Passionate, freethinking existentialist philosopher-writers Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre are one of the world's legendary couples. Their committed but notoriously open union generated no end of controversy in their day. Biographer Hazel Rowley offers the first dual portrait of these two colossal figures and their intense, often embattled relationship. Through original interviews and access to new primary sources, Rowley portrays Sartre and Beauvoir up close.
Tête-à-Tête magnificently details the passion, daring, humor, and contradictions of a remarkably unorthodox relationship.

Recenzii
“Compulsively readable . . . The surprise page-turner of the season . . . An admiring but balanced portrait emerges of activist intellectuals determined to practice the freedom they preached . . . [A] fascinating study of a passion that transcended convention.” — Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Rowley is an engrossing narrator. Her book tells Beauvoir and Sartre’s repellent, inspiring and unlikely tale more completely and concisely than it has ever been told before.” — New York Times Book Review
“A fast-moving yet vast saga, spanning the bulk of the 20th century and much of the world . . . Rowley aims to capture Beauvoir and Sartre’s life experiences. She does this vividly and expertly.” — Seattle Times
“Tête-a-Tête has just about everything: sex, philosophy, politics and the world’s most unconventional love story. Hard as I tried, I could not put it down.” — Barbara Ehrenreich
“Enormously rich and utterly absorbing, TETE-A-TETE offers just what is needed: a short, concise, penetrating look into the famous couple who changed their century.” — Brenda Maddox
“The surprise page-turner of the year. With the deftness of a geometer, Rowley sorts out their many ‘contingent’ love affairs, keeping all the eyebrow-raising, overlapping triangles straight.” — Newsday
“Tête-à-Tête captures the uniqueness of [Beauvoir and Sartre’s] fascinating relationship, as well as their orbital ones, with an ethic of transparency which would not have displeased either of it protagonists.” — Times Literary Supplement (London)
“A lively and fulfilling portrait . . . This wonderfully crafted narrative presents the complicated lives of these two strong-willed individuals and their numerous lovers, companions, friends, concerns, and passions in a way that enthralls like a novel but clearly imparts the force of reality. Thoroughly researched and well-written.” — Library Journal
“What Rowley so shrewdly and fairly reveals in this explicit and insightful double portrait is that these two charismatic champions for justice and freedom were committed at any cost to transmuting existence into art.” — Booklist
“Without undue prurience, Rowley romps through the major entanglements, loves, triangles, friendships and affairs . . . and [places] these fascinating interactions into literary and biographical context . . . [She] draws from vast stores of published and unpublished writings, correspondence and interviews.” — Publishers Weekly
“Drawing on unpublished letters and new interviews with romantic casualties from both sides, Rowley artfully alternates between depicting Sartre and [Beauvoir] as cafe-lounging, leftist intellectuals, and jealous, cruel sexual manipulators straight out of Dangerous Liaisons.” — Entertainment Weekly
“Fascinating . . . A neatly assembled record of people behaving badly in the name of literature, philosophy and amour.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Exhilirating.” — Houston Chronicle
