    Synopsis

    In her most famous novel, The Mandarins, Simone de Beauvoir takes an unflinching look at Parisian intellectual society at the end of World War II. In fictionally relating the stories of those around her --Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Arthur Koestler, Nelson Algren --de Beauvoir dissects the emotional and philosophical currents of her time. At once an engrossing drama and an intriguing political tale, The Mandarins is the emotional odyssey of a woman torn between her inner desires and her public life.

    February 14, 2002: I came into 'The Mandarines' expecting heavy-handed philosophy, and immediately became enchanted by this lovely, emotional novel. It has the feel of a real life story, with all its joys and disappointments, and very real family and friend relationships. A joy, I was sorry the moment it was finished.
