Zusatztext In their accessible overview of Sartre's and de Beauvoir's philosophies, the Fullbrooks reiterate the argument that they make in earlier works: Sartre plagiarized de Beauvoir's thoughts, laid bare in de Beauvoir's novel She Came To Stay...Leveraging the tools of the biographer, literary critic, philosopher, and historian, the authors offer a thorough investigation of the Sartre-de Beauvoir story, attempting to distinguish the truth from the legend of their relationship.
