[ 5.0 stars ] "The Mandarins is an interesting look into the lives of French intellectuals trying to rebuild the world in a post WWII environment. Beauvoir's account closely follows the lives of Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Nelson Algren. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the lives of French Existentialists, post-WWII French culture, or, just a good read.My favorite part of the ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "As someone with an antipathy to existentialism, feminism, the French and soap operas, I came to Simone de Beauvoir's The Mandarins expecting to find myself loathing the experience. My attitude turned around quite rapidly because of the writing, the plotting and the fascination of watching the internal debates of French leftists who were coming to terms with the recent impotence of their natio ..."

It holds a special place in my heart as it is populated with the fictional equivalents of some of my favorite literary figures: Simone herself, Jean Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Arthur Koestler, ..."

[ 3.0 stars ] "I have read a part of The Mandarins by Simone de Beauvoir. The version I am reading is in 3 parts, and I read the first part which has the subtitle: Anne. The Mandarins is a roman-a-clef which describes the intellectual left-wing millieu in post WW2 Paris. The central character of the account is "Henri" which is considered to be Albert Camus. It's interesting to see the left-wing movement at t ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "My reactions to Simone's massive novel about life with J.P. Sartre, Albert Camus, and Nelson Algren are violently mixed. It's fascinating to read about an era where prize-winning novelists were resistance fighters and political organizers, and though they're continually bemoaning their powerlessness, I'm amazed by how much what they do and say matters in their vanished world. On th ..." Courtesy by Amazon
