By (author): Simone de Beauvoir

'It is possible for man to snatch the world from the darkness of absurdity'

How should we think and act in the world? These writings on the human condition by one of the twentieth century's great philosophers explore the absurdity of our notions of good and evil, and show instead how we make our own destiny simply by being.

One of twenty new books in the bestselling Penguin Great Ideas series. This new selection showcases a diverse list of thinkers who have helped shape our world today, from anarchists to stoics, feminists to prophets, satirists to Zen Buddhists.

About Simone de Beauvoir

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-86) was a French philosopher novelist and essayist and the lifelong companion of Jean-Paul Sartre. De Beauvoir's first book L'Invitée was published in 1943. In 1945 she published Le Sang des autres a novel dealing with the question of political involvement. De Beauvoir's breakthrough work was the semi-autobiographical Les Mandarins (1954) which won the Prix Goncourt. Roman Catholic authorities banned it and de Beauvoir's feminist classic The Second Sex (1949) in which de Beauvoir argued that one is not born a woman; one becomes one.
