Simone de Beauvoir’s life as a graphic novel: “I want everything from life!”

Simone de Beauvoir was a philosopher, writer and existentialist. Today, she is a feminist icon. Generations have been fascinated and inspired by the way she lived and loved. Having grown up in a time when women were not allowed to study, vote or choose their own profession, she became one of the most influential intellectuals of the 20th century. Simone de Beauvoir wanted everything from life, and with her pioneering approach she courageously paved the way for those who came after her. In this graphic novel, Julia Korbik and Julia Bernhard paint a picture of Simone de Beauvoir as a daughter, woman, friend, writer, lover, philosopher, ally and feminist. What emerges is a multifaceted portrait that testifies to her great lust for life: animated and contradictory, rich in insight, pain and joy. It is the portrait of a woman who was always driven by her curiosity about people, about herself, about her own thinking and about every aspect of the world.
