Editorial : “It is a book that will leave no one indifferent, and no one affected in quite the same way.” (New York Times)
“Beauvoir’s graciously written memoirs carry distinct appeal in recording the emotional and intellectual birth pangs of a fascinating woman.” (Time)
“This is perhaps the best piece of writing Mlle. de Beauvoir has yet done; the translator does it justice.” (Saturday Review)
A superb autobiography by one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, Simone de Beauvoir's Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter offers an intimate picture of growing up in a bourgeois French family, rebelling as an adolescent against the conventional expectations of her class, and striking out on her own with an intellectual and existential ambition exceedingly rare in a young woman in the 1920s.She vividly evokes her friendships, love interests, mentors, and the early days of the most important relationship of her life, with fellow student Jean-Paul Sartre, against the backdrop of a turbulent political time.
She doesn't spare herself, uncompromisingly addressing her faults and sharing the caustic remark that Weil had to make about her. The author great tips on what you need to know when you first get your camera to more in depth information on product photography from choosing the right equipment to making sure you get the right shot. It is also expensive (the price has risen since my set was purchased). I recommended it in my book Greene & Greene: Design Elements for the WorkshopKindergarten Chats And Other Writings.
There are many valid methods and formulas for unlocking the secrets of design, but their practical application can often be vague. An absolutely gorgeous book. The color photography is stunning and that material which is covered is covered well. The rules and intuition need one another, but in the end intuition must be allowed to rule the day.
Louis Sullivan (who was called "the Master" by Frank Lloyd Wright's) said:
"formulas are dangerous things.
