When Things of the Spirit Come First: Five Early Tales by Simone De Beauvoir
TRADE PAPERBACK [1982] PANTHEON BOOKS
Vintage trade paperback in excellent condition. Light discoloration to cover and a teeny pen mark on title page. Reads like new!
This is a collection of semi-autobiographical tales written when the author was only 30, before World War II. Each tale concerns a young woman struggling with the effects of a Catholic upbringing, and with the stifling social demands of the French bourgeoisie.
