Escrita en 1954, cinco años después de la publicación de El segundo sexo, Las inseparables narra la amistad apasionada que une a Sylvie y a Andrée -alter ego de la propia Simone de Beauvoir y de Élisabeth Lacoin (Zaza)- desde que con nueve años se conocen en la escuela. Andrée es alegre, inteligente y atrevida, y Sylvie, una niña formal que se siente irremediablemente atraída por su personalidad arrolladora. Juntas aprenderán a librarse de las convenciones y las expectativas asfixiantes de su entorno, ignorantes del trágico precio que tienen la libertad y la ambición intelectual y existencial.

In this book I’ve tried to summarize in a very essential way how all the main theistic religions and the ancient Hermetic traditions point to the same non-conceptual Truth regarding Reality and Being, and in particular, how the field of phenomenal reality as self-perception is governed by unchanging Laws or Principles which can be known and utilized in ...
