Summary

" Je rêvais d'être ma propre cause et ma propre fin ; je pensais à présent que la littérature me permettrait de réaliser ce vœu. Elle m'assurerait une immortalité qui compenserait l'éternité perdue ; il n'y avait plus de Dieu pour m'aimer, mais je brûlerais dans des millions de cœurs. En écrivant une œuvre nourrie de mon histoire, je me créerais moi-même à neuf et je justifierais mon existence. En même temps, je servirais l'humanité : quel plus beau cadeau lui faire que des livres? Je m'intéressais à la fois à moi et aux autres ; j'acceptais mon "incarnation" mais je ne voulais pas renoncer à l'universel : ce projet conciliait tout ; il flattait toutes les aspirations qui s'étaient développées en moi au cours de ces quinze années. "

Avec toute son énergie, Sylvia Bergé incarne avec brio Simone de Beauvoir, et nous emporte dans le premier volet de son œuvre autobiographique, brillant et passionnant.

Timeless reading

I’ve always known Simone de Beauvoir as a prominent feminist pioneer and philosopher, and I imagined her primarily as a serious intellectual figure. However, as her story unfolds from her birth up to 1929, I was struck by the relatable struggles she faced. Her journey as a young woman navigating a male-dominated, bourgeois society mirrors the challenges that many women continue to experience today. Her life, filled with personal questioning and a quest for self-definition, reveals a side of her that feels both timeless and deeply relevant to modern readers.
