About The Mandarins

Beauvoir's Goncourt Prize–winning 1954 novel follows a group of left-wing Parisian intellectuals in the years after the Liberation — navigating the Cold War, the revelations about Soviet labour camps, and the question of what committed intellectual life looks like when the euphoria of liberation meets the grim reality of postwar politics.
