| Summary: | This article delves on the complex relationship Simone de Beauvoir had with the USSR between 1955 and 1968. It attempts to analyse the chronicle of her sojourns in this country as depicted in her memoirs, but also in the short novel Malentendu à Moscou (1967) a sort of synthesis of her various experiences. What appears in these texts is, in fact, a long farewell to a country which had stirred up so many hopes, but which betrayed them year after year. The Soviet reality destroyed the ideological dreams the philosopher and writer ever had. |
