"A book that will leave no one indifferent, and no one affected in quite the same way." --New York TimesA superb autobiography by one of the great literary figures of the twentieth centurySimone de Beauvoir's Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter offers an intimate picture of growing up in a bourgeois French family, rebelling as an adolescent against the conventional expectations of her class, and striking out on her own with an intellectual and existential ambition exceedingly rare in a young woman in the 1920s.Beauvoir vividly evokes her friendships, love interests, mentors, and the early days of the most important relationship of her life, with fellow student Jean-Paul Sartre, against the backdrop of a turbulent political time.

Finalist for the French-American Florence Gould Translation PrizeA novel by the iconic Simone de Beauvoir of an intense and vivid girlhood friendship that, unpublished in her lifetime, displays ?Beauvoir's genius as a fiction writer? (Wall Street Journal) From the moment Sylvie and Andrée meet in their Parisian day school, they see in each other an accomplice with whom to confront the mysteries of girlhood. For the next ten years, the two are the closest of friends and confidantes as they explore life in a post-World War One France, and as Andrée becomes increasingly reckless and rebellious, edging closer to peril.Sylvie, insightful and observant, sees a France of clashing ideals and religious hypocrisy?and at an early age is determined to form her own opinions. Andrée, a tempestuous dreamer, is inclined to melodrama and romance. Despite their different natures they rely on each other to safeguard their secrets while entering adulthood in a world that did not pay much attention to the wills and desires of young women.Deemed too intimate to publish during Simone de Beauvoir's life, Inseparable offers fresh insight into the groundbreaking feminist's own coming-of-age; her transformative, tragic friendship with her childhood friend Zaza Lacoin; and how her youthful relationships shaped her philosophy. Sandra Smith's vibrant translation of the novel will be long cherished by de Beauvoir devotees and first-time readers alike.

Despite growing interest in her philosophy, Simone de Beauvoir remains widely misunderstood. She is typically portrayed as a mere intellectual follower of her companion, Jean-Paul Sartre. In Philosophical Writings, Beauvoir herself shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Beauvoir's philosophical work suffers from a lack of English-language translation or, worse, mistranslation into heavily condensed popular versions. Philosophical Writings provides an unprecedented collection of complete, scholarly editions of philosophical texts that cover the first twenty-three years of Beauvoir's career, including a number of recently discovered works. Ranging from metaphysical literature to existentialist ethics, Philosophical Writings brings together diverse elements of Beauvoir's work while highlighting continuities in the development of her thought. Each of the translations features detailed notes and a scholarly introduction explaining its larger significance. Revelatory and long overdue, Philosophical Writings adds to the ongoing resurgence of interest in Beauvoir's thought and to her growing influence on today's philosophical curriculum.

DET ANDET KØN er et hovedværk i kvindefrigørelsens historie, der giver anledning til diskussion den dag i dag. Til både mænd og kvinder, der vil blive klogere på relationen mellem kønnene.  I DET ANDET KØN beskriver Simone de Beauvoir flere århundreders syn på kvinder i biologien, psykoanalysen, litteraturen, religionen og filosofien for at påvise, hvordan meget af det, man i 1949 anså for kendsgerninger, blot var myter. ”Man fødes ikke som kvinde, man bliver det”, skriver Simone de Beauvoir – og skildrer bedre end nogen anden den kulturelle arv, der stadig skaber ulighed i dag. DET ANDET KØN vakte begejstring og skandale, da den udkom i 1949 – og blev bl.a. blev fordømt af paven.Simone de Beauvoirs filosofiske hovedværk har 70 års-jubilæum i 2019. Udkommer nu i en ny og revideret udgave – inklusive et "nyt" kapitel, der ikke tidligere har været udgivet på dansk.Andet bind indeholder: Del 1: Kvindens udvikling Kapitel 1: Barndom Kapitel 2: Ungdom Kapitel 3: Seksuel indvielse Kapitel 4: Den lesbiske kvinde Del 2: Kvindens situation Kapitel 1: Ægteskab Kapitel 2: Moderskab Kapitel 3: Samfundslivet Kapitel 4: Prostituerede og hetærer Kapitel 5: Fra modenhed til alderdom Kapitel 6: Kvindens situation og karakter Del 3: Flugtmuligheder Kapitel 1: Narcissisme Kapitel 2: Den store kærlighed Kapitel 3: Mystik Del 4: Mod frigørelsen Kapitel 1: Den uafhængige kvinde

Anden verdenskrig kom på mange måder til at skærpe sansen for godt og ondt og forestillingen om menneskets frihed og ansvar. Ikke mindst af den grund blev den franske eksistentialisme en filosofi på rette tid og sted, og det kom – foruden Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty og Albert Camus – Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) til gode. Mens Sartre tøvede med at offentliggøre sit bud på en eksistentialistisk etik (Hæfter til en moral, 1983), udgav Simone de Beauvoir i 1946-47 de tre essays, der udgør En tvetydighedens moral.Det store problem var – og er fortsat – hvordan man forener tanken om en almen og forpligtende moral med ideen om mennesket som fri og autentisk eksistens. Beauvoir vedkender sig tvetydigheden og understreger derved det centrale moralske engagement. Som sådan lægger disse essays op til Det andet køn fra 1949.Bogen genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere og udkom første gang på dansk i 1997.
