De Beauvoir, Simone & Sartre, Jean-Paul (Translated by Patrick O'Brian).
ADIEUX: A FAREWELL TO SARTRE.
New York City, NY: Pantheon, 1984. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 453 pages. As New/As New. A personal and intellectual dialogue committed to book form. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The first appearance of the title in English. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Showing astonishing candor, Sartre openly discusses his relationships with other women, a subject which pains de Beauvoir even now; his ugliness and his fear of dying. In one of the most moving passages, de Beauvoir anticipates Sartre's death. She knows he is dying but she cannot tell him. Not even Existentialism's stated acceptance of death can console her. A "must-have" title for Simone deBeauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre collectors. This title has been out-of-print as a hardcover for a very long time. This is one of few copies of the first English-language Edition still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writer/thinkers of the 20th century. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0394530357. $40.00 |
