A bejeweled memoir by one of the brightest minds of the 20th Century, from her youth to her meeting of Jean-Paul Sartre, whom she clearly considered to be OMG-that-guy at the party when she was younger, and her slow, steady exit from the bullshit expectations of bougie prewar French society. Can't wait to start Anthony: Ha, I endeavor to be nothing if not Proustian. :-) I haven't read Sakura: I KNOW, I really do have to get the next three volumes. And this a more general complaint, for all autobiographies: if at any time anyone writing theirs embellishes or adds detail because they can't recall everything, then about what else might they be stretching the details? Raised devoutly Catholic, for example, she realizes sometime in her early teens that she no longer believes in God. Published in 1958, Be careful of those quiet, nerdy-looking teenage girls, they may grow up to become famous authors. Her Memoirs, however, I just did not enjoy. If you're not interested in philosophy and like a lot to "happen" in your books, it will probably seem hopelessly dry. Note de l’éditeur clandestin. Brava!On the strength of your comments I have added to my wish list, now to find a reliable translation. And you've got to get the other three volumes!I have very fond memories regarding de Beauvoir because "The Second Sex" was the first book on feminism I ever read. Along the way, beautiful descriptive writing and excellent narrative skills sustain interest and contain more than enough tension, surprise and suspense to make this a most enjoyable read. I will be eternally grateful that I found this book at this particular time in my life. At some point before this realization, she thinks to herself that to lose one's faith would be the most horrible thing she can imagine happening to a person; yet when she herself realizes that it has happened to her, it makes no immediate change in her life; she feels little distress. i've already started the second volume of her memoirs and tbh i'm hopeful that she'll give an explanation as to why she filife changing tbh. Ma cousine Jeanne incarnait cet idéal: elle croyait … :-) And I totally agree - whenever de Beauvoir wrote something like "I felt I would be someone, that I was different from those around me" I thought, well, she sure was right about that.Wow, I had no idea about this book! I am now around the same age as the self de Beauvoir writes about for a majority of this memoir and can relate to many of the trials and tribulations that she herself lived through.

By the time she is questioning these assumptions, other things (literature, philosophy, human relationships) have taken the spiritually fulfilling place that religion once held in her life:Although I want to discuss so much more—young Simone's feeling of tragedy at the unconsciousness of inanimate objects; her attribution of her own negative capability to the difference in her parents' belief systems; her relationships with her sister and her best friend; her first meetings with Sartre—I'm already running long. One moment you think you're the smartest person ever to walk the face of the earth; from your exalted position you view the world with pity and disgust. She will make you think hard, she will make you ask questions about such basic beliefs which we take for granted. There is something comforting about knowing that your experiences are shared by others and that thousands of people before you have had the same struggles and will continue to have them after you are gone. and listening to Bob Dylan on my iPod. I loved how her idea of self was in constant flux and the richness of her inner life. I like reading in her own words what her upbringing was like but the inclusion of every single detail, every thought, feeling, word spoken, nuance between the people in her life, is, in places, tedious. Or a week ago. In fact, one reason I won't go to high school reunions is that I am not sure who I *was* then, and so don't know how to act!

This moment couldn’t have been any snootier if I had tried… that is, until I started laughing – at myself – out loud, to the other patrons’ confusion. Ceci est lié aux soucis de l'auteur de ne pas rapporter les événements à partir de ses opinions de l'époque à laquelle elle … Mémoires d'une jeune fille rangée Je rêvais d'être ma propre cause et ma propre fin ; je pensais à présent que la littérature me permettrait de réaliser ce vœu. I like reading in her own words what her upbringing was like but the inclusion of every single detail, everySimone de Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, non-fiction, and although I have not read The Second Sex since college, she stands out as being one of the great feminists of all time, who furthered women's rights more than most. But it does contain philosophical questions that you might want to take a look at bYes, for all intents and purposes, this is a clean book for teens. There is something comforting about knowing that your experiences are shared by others and that thousands of people before you have had the same struggles and will continue to have them after you are gone. I truly find her so interesting.Well written discourses on growing up are amazing.

In Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, the feminist philosopher and author Simone de Beauvoir eloquently writes about so many feelings and experiences that seem beyond words. It is populated with a cast of characters for whom we learn to care, providing a lively story and a sense of unfolding progress towards a close in which many plot lines are resolved with great style. And it was a total epiphany for me! What an incredible woman. I can't remember everything that happened when I was three, or thirteen.

"I was born at four o'clock in the morning on the ninth of January 1908, in a room fitted with white-enameled furniture and overlooking the Boulevard Raspail. :-)Simone de Beauvoir is a real favorite of mine, particularly her memoirs (Une mort tres douce is short, and a perfect gem) but I love her novels, too.
