Written by Fadiman it is a scathing review of The Mandarins. He comments that "I am sure of two things: a. On a smaller scale this will repeat its French success for reasons which have nothing to do with its literaty value which is questionable but which have much to do with its talk-value its scandal-value." "I have tried to make it clear that the reasons why this interesting book baffles me and in the end angers me because I know how much it means to you and how many painful and conscientious hours Donald has spend on it it shows it too--the translation is brilliant. I would not have you think that I do not deeply respect your opinions; if I did not I would not have spent twenty precious and by no means wasted hours on The Mandarins." He closes out the letter by asking them to "Give my regards to Mrs. Sartre and tell her to stop contemplating her own soul and look at the whole world in time and space. She is in a way a lucky woman--she still has before her the wonderful experience of growing up."; shelved case 13. The Mandarins French: Les Mandarins is a 1954 roman � clef by Simone de Beauvoir for which she won the Prix Goncourt awarded to the best and most imaginative prose work of the year in 1954. The Mandarins was first published in English in 1956 in a translation by Leonard M. Friedman. The book follows the personal lives of a close-knit group of French intellectuals from the end of World War II to the mid-1950s. The title refers to the scholar-bureaucrats of imperial China. The characters at times see themselves as ineffectual "mandarins" as they attempt to discern what role if any intellectuals will have in influencing the political landscape of the world after World War II. As in de Beauvoir's other works themes of feminism existentialism and personal morality are explored as the characters navigate not only the intellectual and political landscape but also their shifting relationships with each other.; Clifton Paul "Kip" Fadiman May 15 1904 - June 20 1999 was an American intellectual author editor radio and television personality. He began his work with the radio and switched to television later in his career. Fadiman worked ten years for Simon & Schuster ending as its chief editor. Fadiman then took charge of The New Yorker's book review section from 1933-1943. wikipedia. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. <br/><br/> The World Publishing Company hardcover
