Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (January 9, 1908 - April 14, 1986) was a French existentialist philosopher, writer and social theorist. Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, biographies, autobiographies, and monographs on philosophy, politics, and social issues. She was best known for her "trailblazing work in feminist philosophy," including The Second Sex, published in 1949, a detailed analysis of women's oppression and a foundational tract of contemporary feminism. The following is from a 1976 interview (in English).

Story1
Now in the pantheon of great thinkers, Simone Weil (1909–1943) lived largely in the shadows, searching for her spiritual home while bearing witness to the violence that devastated Europe twice in her brief lifetime. The letters she wrote to her parents and brother from childhood onward chart her intellectual range as well as her itinerancy and ever-shifting preoccupations, revealing the singular personality at the heart of her brilliant essays. The first complete collection of Weil's missives to her family, A Life in Letters offers new insight into her personal relationships and experiences.

Story6
Raised on Charles Baudelaire, A Clockwork Orange, and fine Bordeaux in 1970s Lebanon, Darina Al-Joundi was encouraged by her unconventional father to defy all taboos. As the bombs fell, she lived an adolescence of excess and transgression, defying death in nightclubs. The more oppressive the country became, the more drugs and anonymous sex she had, fueling the resentment by day of the same men who would spend the night with her. As the war dies down, she begins to incur the consequences of her lifestyle. On his deathbed, her father's last wish is for his favorite song, "Sinnerman" by Nina Simone, to be played at his funeral.

Story0
SIMONE WEIL (1909-1943) suscitó en vida tanta admiración como feroces antipatías, y después de muerta empezó a ser leída y estudiada con fascinación por un público cada vez más numeroso. Escritora y polemista ecléctica e incansable, crítica ferviente del estalinismo desde la izquierda, dispuesta a experimentar en primera persona el trabajo en la fábrica e incluso la realidad del frente en la Guerra Civil española, participante activa en la resistencia francesa desde el exilio… hasta su muerte con apenas treinta y cuatro años, en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Story0
The Fate We Make: Heartbreak, is the first volume of a remarkable, occasionally tragic. but ultimately redemptive coming-of-age story. From an early age, Simone Warren recognized that she was caught between her family’s expectations and her need to find her own path and voice. Born into a Singaporean Chinese family and a life rooted in tradition, her story is a stunning tale of survival and an inspiring look at how we can learn to move beyond trauma to forge a path toward finding happiness.

"J'utilisais sa méthode, ou plutôt son absence de méthode quand elle préparait un film. Se laisser envahir sans idée préconçue par une inconnue, une étrangère. Devenir lentement cette autre femme, revivre ses peurs, ses désirs, ses déceptions, ses préjugés. " Par la même mystérieuse alchimie qui faisait de Simone Signoret une autre quand elle se préparait à jouer un personnage, Catherine David s'est laissé envahir par cette autre femme qu'elle avoue d'entrée admirer et aimer.

Wenn einem dämmert, dass man bis zum Hals in der Scheiße sitzt, ist es meist schon zu spät, sich aus eigener Kraft aus der Misere zu befreien. Matze hat alles, woran es Pia zu Hause fehlt: Er nimmt sie ernst und hat ein offenes Ohr für all ihre Probleme, Ängste und Sorgen. Und obwohl er fünfzehn Jahre älter als sie ist, verliebt sie sich Hals über Kopf in ihn. Dass seine Fassade nur ein mieser Trick ist, sie in sein sorgfältig gewebtes Spinnennetz zu locken, davon ahnt Pia nichts, und am Ende begibt sie sich sogar aus freien Stücken hinein.
