In her most famous novel, Simone de Beauvoir takes an unflinching look at Parisian intellectual society at the end of World War II.

In fictionally depicting the lives of her circle -- Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Arthur Koestler -- and her passionate love affair with 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.
