The Mandarins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mandarins is a 1954 novel by Simone de Beauvoir. The novel is perhaps de Beauvoir's most celebrated, and in 1954 it won her the Prix Goncourt.
The question of the intellectual's political commitments was a major theme in the novel.
The British novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch described the book as "endearing because of its persistent seriousness".
