Kurš datēja Simone de Beauvoir?

Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (UK: , US: ; French: [simɔn də bovwaʁ] ; 9 January 1908 – 14 April 1986) was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, social theorist, and feminist activist. Though she did not consider herself a philosopher, nor was she considered one at the time of her death, she had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory.

Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, short stories, biographies, autobiographies, and monographs on philosophy, politics, and social issues. She was best known for her "trailblazing work in feminist philosophy", The Second Sex (1949), a detailed analysis of women's oppression and a foundational tract of contemporary feminism. She was also known for her novels, the most famous of which were She Came to Stay (1943) and The Mandarins (1954).

Her most enduring contribution to literature is her memoirs, notably the first volume, Mémoires d'une jeune fille rangée (1958). She received the 1954 Prix Goncourt, the 1975 Jerusalem Prize, and the 1978 Austrian State Prize for European Literature. She was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961, 1969 and 1973. However, Beauvoir generated controversy when she briefly lost her teaching job after being accused of sexually abusing some of her students.

Nelson Algren (born Nelson Ahlgren Abraham; March 28, 1909 – May 9, 1981) was an American writer. His 1949 novel The Man with the Golden Arm won the National Book Award and was adapted as the 1955 film of the same name.

Algren articulated the world of "drunks, pimps, prostitutes, freaks, drug addicts, prize fighters, corrupt politicians, and hoodlums". Art Shay singled out a poem Algren wrote from the perspective of a "halfy," street slang for a legless man on wheels. Shay said that Algren considered this poem to be a key to everything he had ever written. The protagonist talks about "how forty wheels rolled over his legs and how he was ready to strap up and give death a wrestle."

According to Harold Augenbraum, "in the late 1940s and early 1950s he was one of the best known literary writers in America." A lover of French writer Simone de Beauvoir, he is featured in her novel The Mandarins, set in Paris and Chicago. He was called "a sort of bard of the down-and-outer" based on this book, but also on his short stories in The Neon Wilderness (1947) and his novel A Walk on the Wild Side (1956). The latter was adapted as the 1962 film of the same name (directed by Edward Dmytryk, screenplay by John Fante).

Žans Pols Šarls Emārs Sartrs (franču: Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre; dzimis 1905. gada 21. jūnijā, miris 1980. gada 15. aprīlī) bija politiski kreiss eksistenciālisma franču filozofs, rakstnieks un dramaturgs. 1964. gada Nobela prēmijas laureāts, no kuras viņš brīvprātīgi atteicās. Plaši zināma ir arī Sartra ilgā un sarežģītā kopdzīve ar feministi Simonu de Bovuāru.

Dzimis Parīzē, flotes virsnieka ģimenē. Sartra māte bija Alberta Šveicera māsīca. Kad Žanam Polam bija divi gadi, nomira tēvs un zēns uzauga, ietekmējoties no mātes tēva. Kad Sartram bija divpadsmit gadu, māte apprecējās atkal un ģimene pārcēlās uz Larošelu.

Starp pasaules kariem studēdams prestižajā Augstākajā normālskolā (École Normale Supérieure) filozofiju, Sartrs iepazinās ar savu partneri un domubiedri Simonu de Bovuāru. Līdz Otrajam pasaules karam pasniedza filozofiju dažādos Francijas licejos, no 1944. gada pārtika tikai no literārās darbības. 1945. gada oktobrī kopā ar de Bovuāru, Merlo-Pontī un citiem nodibināja literāri-politisku žurnālu "Jaunie laiki" (Les Temps Modernes). Sabiedriskajā darbībā Sartrs atbalstīja dekolonizāciju (tajā skaitā Alžīrijas neatkarību no Francijas), Miera kustību, Kubas revolūciju, Studentu maiju, protestēdams pret ASV Vjetnamas karu, bet arī pret PSRS Ungārijas revolūcijas un Prāgas pavasara apspiešanu.
