Here is the second volume of autobiography Simone Power. It is with great pleasure that we are immersed in the atmosphere of Saint Germains des Prés and the circle Sartre / Beauvoir during the Second World War. We see change about Simone de Beauvoir many of our writers, sculptors ... passed to posterity today. Names appear in the corner of each page. Both sides are observable: Simone de Beauvoir in the "daily life" and bias on this life, which is also less virulent than in his Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, and Simone de Beauvoir "author" that transcribes the writing work necessary for the production of his literary work. She brush for a similar portrait Sartre: Sartre's daily life and the literary life of Sartre. The writing is simple, very literary and thickness of the book lets forget.
