Hailed by Iris Murdoch as "a remarkable book, a novel on the grand scale, courageous in its exactitude and endearing because of its persistent seriousness." In fictionally relating the stories of those around her - Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Arthur Koestler, Nelson Algren - de Beauvoir dissects the emotional and philosophical currents of her time. ***At once an engrossing drama and an intriguing political tale, "The Mandarins" is the emotional odyssey of a woman torn between her inner desires and her public life. The book was the recipient of the Prix Goncourt Award.' (Wiki) ***'Simone de Beauvoir published her first novel "L'Invitee" in 1943; it had taken four years to write. "Le Sang des Autres" appeared in 1945, "Tous les Hommes sont Mortels" in 1947, Le Deuxieme Sexe" in 1949. With "Les Mandarins" she reached her maturity as a novelist and with the award of the Prix Goncourt became recognised as France's most distinguished woman writer and achieved an international reputation.'
