The legendary relation between Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre was based on a specific communion of the two existentialists’ souls and bodies. It is Sartre that is generally considered to be the spiritual guide of this duo and that is why his role should be approached with caution in order to show that Beauvoir was by no means an epigone of her master. A contrario, it is the inspiration stemming from her literary output that can be found in a handful of works authored by the founder of Les Temps modernes (Modern Times). This impact is particularly conspicuous in the play entitled Dirty Hands, referring to The Second Sex, in which the author reflects on the concept of myth and shows his interest in women’s authorship. Thus, the literary output of Beauvoir and Sartre, two strong personalities of uncommon talent characterised by sameness and dissimilarity, proves their mutual admiration for their partner’s achievements and their acceptance of the other. Taking this aspect into account, reading their works from an intertextual point of view appears to be extremely fascinating.

Le pacte légendaire de Simone de Beauvoir et Jean-Paul Sartre se fondait sur une connivence intellectuelle et affective entre eux deux. Étant donné que d’habitude Sartre était considéré comme le guide spirituel de ce duo, cela vaut la peine de relativiser le rôle du philosophe pour montrer que Beauvoir n’était aucunement au miroir de son maître. A contrario, ce sont les traces de son inspiration que l’on retrouve dans certains textes du fondateur de la revue Les Temps modernes. Cette influence se fait ressentir avant tout dans la pièce Les Mains sales, se référant au Deuxième Sexe, où l’auteur se rapporte à la notion de mythe, tout en manifestant son intérêt pour, et par, l’écriture au féminin. Ainsi, l’œuvre de Beauvoir et Sartre, deux personnalités fortes, d’un talent inédit, des consciences, à la fois, jumelles et différentes, prouve non seulement leur admiration réciproque pour leur travail respectif, mais aussi l’acceptation de l’autre. En témoignent leurs ouvrages, lus dans la perspective intertextuelle.

In Simone de Beauvoir’s œuvre, the problem of love and the relationship with the Other turns out to be fundamental. The need to realize one’s own desires forces the individual to open for the Other who – instead of making the relationship more attractive – brings about its breakup. The Author raises this issue in terms of androgyny interpreted as a relationship between two people, which is possible only in the spheres of total freedom and reciprocity, both spiritual and sexual, revealing an inherent influence of other people on our lives.The texts by Beauvoir, whose idée fixe is a search for the wholeness, enable one to understand that otherness is also understood as a struggle to change the perception of femininity and of independence. The other also fascinates us by difference. It encourages one to get to know oneself, one’s possibilities and limitations, as well as one’s identity. By looking into the eyes of the other (like in a mirror) a person has an opportunity to create a new reality, thereby rejecting stereotypes and a traditional value system. Thus, finding a sense of life and realizing existing differences become possible.The multidimensionality of the concept of otherness enables the critic to present the writer’s original vision, propagating the individual development and autonomy, defined by relationships with others and, at the same time, by his or her pursuit of an existential fullness with another human being.

Ambiguity of the human condition and its existentialist interpretations according to Simone de Beauvoir Simone de Beauvoir perceives existentialism as a philosophy of ambiguity, suggesting that a man should reconcile the contradictions of the human condition. The philosophical essays of the author show the evolution of her thinking. Beauvoir discovers the paradoxes of existentialism, mainly the antimony between responsibility and powerlessness of an individual. Her work captures an image of reality while relativizing philosophical values and maintaining the opposites. Her texts show the ambivalent attitude of the author to existence. Thus, they reflect her point of view, according to which moral consciousness only exists when a person experiences some intellectual dissonance or a sense of failure. Then, according to Beauvoir, life becomes meaningful through action enabled by free choice.

Simone de Beauvoir – a writer, journalist, and philosopher, a pioneer of modern feminism, a collaborator and life partner of Jean-Paul Sartre, was also a tireless traveller, who embarked on numerous journeys described in her autobiographical accounts and correspondence. The author of The Second Sex invariably seeks new sensations and is attracted to other people. Memories of visits to foreign countries are characterized by detailed descriptions and exploration of the world. Each destination is presented from the viewpoint of aesthetics, avoiding interactions with the local population. Over time, under the influence of her trips, Beauvoir becomes aware of the complexity of "the Other" and the need to support people and reject own isolation. Her writing becomes involved, subjective, and empathetic, reflecting growing interest in the problems of other people and sensitivity to social injustice and ideological issues. The shrewd observer searches for the meaning of life and her own "self". The universal dimension of the human condition appears to be far more important than individual experiences of the previously egocentric woman.

The character of the father in French literature, especially in the works of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette and Simone de Beauvoir, is significant. He may be perfect or not without faults, withdrawn or authoritative, fascinating or disgusting, but invariably – even if he is overshadowed by the mother – the father inspires his daughter. The latter treats him as a kind of spiritual guide, a confidant who gives her life energy, is an example to follow, and passes on his value system and the need to write on his daughter. Love for the father or the lack thereof allows an adolescent daughter to find her own identity and define herself, and in the case of a mature woman it allows her to revisit her own childhood and youth through writing, so as to resurrect the image of the father and reflect on her own life and the writer’s vocation.
