>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A one-of-a-kind passionate biography exploring the life of one of the most influential women of all time, by the winners of the Luise Büchner Prize for journalism and the Max and Moritz Award. "I want everything in life, I want to be a woman and I want to be a man, I want to have many friends and enjoy solitude, I want to work plenty and write good books, I want to travel and have a good time, I want to be selfish and I want to be generous," Simone de Beauvoir wrote in a letter to her lover, Nelson Algren.
From her childhood days, in a time when women were not allowed to study, vote, nor choose a profession, up until becoming one of the most influential thinkers of our time, Simone embarked enthusiastically on the great adventure of being herself. The philosopher and the existentialist writer that declared herself a communist and an atheist, who formed a mythical couple with Sartre, but decided not to marry nor bear children, who tried to understand what it means to be a woman, is still an unchallenged icon of feminism and a source of inspiration to a legion of readers.
The Luise Büchner Prize laureates, Julia Korbik and Julia Bernhard, portray the author of
The Second Sex as a daughter, a friend, a lover, an intellectual who wanted everything in life and explored--as no one had done before in female condition--the sexuality, the freedom, and the different ways to love.
