BEAUVOIR SIMONE DE: (1908-1986) French existentialist philosopher, writer and feminist activist. A.L.S., S de Beauvoir, two pages, 8vo, n.p., n.d., to [Jean-Jacques Lubrina] ('Cher Monsieur'), in French. Beauvoir informs her correspondent that she never provides prefaces, and certainly couldn't promise one for a book that she hasn't read, further remarking 'Le chapitre sur les pompiers est un amusant reportage mais ne permet pas de juger l'ensemble de l'ouvrage. Envoyez-le moi quand il sera termine et je vous dirai ce que j'en pense' (Translation: 'The chapter on firefighters is an amusing report but does not allow us to judge the work as a whole. Send it to me when it's finished and I'll let you know what I think'). VG

Jean-Jacques Lubrina's autobiographical work L'Enfer des pompiers ('The Hell of Firefighters') was published in 2011 with a preface by Michel Foucault.
