Hazel Rowley on De Beauvoir & Sartre 2nd of 5 [15min]

De Beauvoir introduces Sartre to one of her brightest students, Olga Kosakiewicz, who becomes the first young woman to join the couple's inner circle, known as 'the family'. De Beauvoir and Sartre are one of the world's most iconic couples, having had a notoriously open relationship and producing some of the 20th century's most influential writing on modern thought. Eleanor Bron reads from Hazel Rowley's biography Tête-à-Tête: Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre.
