Tete-a-Tete: The Tumultuous Lives and Loves of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre (P.S.)

Vivid and engaging portrait of a relationship -- but philosophically unenlightening
This well-researched and detailed portrait of a remarkable and unique relationship between two remarkable and unique people is never less than engaging. It is well worth reading for anyone who has even a passing interest in the intellectual climate in France just preceding, during and after WWII, a period that produced an amazing list of artists and philosophers: Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze, Camus, ...

Success despite erotomania
De Beauvoir and Sartre, without any doubt, are among the most talented writers of the twentieth century. I have enjoyed de Beauvoir's novels over the years, even when I could never quite get connected with the turgid texts of Sartre; and Sartre could be a perfect idiot on matters political, while de Beauvoir always retained more than her share of good sense.

Lifelike and Vibrant Book
This book really is a classic coming-of-age novel. The winner of the French 'Best Novel of the Year' award in 1986, this book presents shockingly vibrant characters and real-life situations. The book is passionate, humourous, and risqué. The plotline is a little bit shocking at first, as it has to deal with a sixteen-year-old boy who takes a thirty-something married woman as his mistress. The ...

Asterix: Le Ciel Lui Tombe Sur La Tete

Albert Uderzo, Rene Goscinny

Hachette Book Group USA, 2005

What's going on here?
This is no longer the Asterix we have come to known over the past few decades. This is something... weired! Instead of fighting Romans or travelling around the world, Asterix meets a bunch of aliens and... Superman clones. This is so terrible. Albert Uderzo has succesfully damaged his lifework by putting this volume of Asterix' adventures on the market. Admitably, Uderzo is not the first ...
