"That’s when everything started," Simone de Beauvoir wrote in an entry dated July 8, 1929. On that day, her relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre began. This second volume of Beauvoir's Diary of a Philosophy Student takes readers into smoky dorm rooms and inter-war Paris as it continues the feminist philosopher's coming-of-age story. Here are Beauvoir's famous sparring sessions with Sartre in the Luxembourg Gardens--teasing him while stoking her burgeoning intellectual strength. Here also are her friendships and academic challenges, the discovery of important future influences like Barrès and Hegel, and her early forays into formulating the problem of the Other. In addition to the diary, the editors provide invaluable supplementary material. A trove of footnotes and endnotes elaborates on virtually every reference made by Beauvoir, offering an atlas of her knowledge and education while at the same time allowing readers to share her intellectual and cultural milieu. Translator and scholar Barbara Klaw also contributes an introduction on reading Beauvoir's diaries as a philosophy of self-help.

Simone de Beauvoir, still a teen, began a diary while a philosophy student at the Sorbonne. Written in 1926-27--before Beauvoir met Jean-Paul Sartre--the diaries reveal previously unknown details about her life and times and offer critical insights into her early intellectual interests, philosophy, and literary works. Presented for the first time in translation, this fully annotated first volume of the Diary includes essays from Barbara Klaw and Margaret A. Simons that address its philosophical, historical, and literary significance. It remains an invaluable resource for tracing the development of Beauvoir's independent thinking and her influence on philosophy, feminism, and the world.

«- Dis-moi pourquoi tu rentres si tard.Il n'a rien répondu.- Vous avez bu ? Joué au poker ? Vous êtes sortis ? Tu as oublié l'heure ?Il continuait à se taire, avec une espèce d'insistance, en faisant tourner son verre entre ses doigts. J'ai jeté par hasard des mots absurdes pour le faire sortir de ses gonds et lui arracher une explication : - Qu'est-ce qui se passe ? Il y a une femme dans ta vie ?Sans me quitter des yeux, il a dit : - Oui, Monique, il y a une femme dans ma vie.»
