Kdo chodil s Simone de Beauvoirová?

Simone de Beauvoir [výslovnost si:ˈmɔn də bo:ˈvwa:ʀ], celým jménem Simone-Lucie-Ernestine-Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir, česky též Simone de Beauvoirová nebo Simone Beauvoirová (9. ledna 1908 Paříž – 14. dubna 1986 Paříž), byla francouzská spisovatelka, myslitelka, filozofka, feministka a existencialistka.

Nelson Algren (born Nelson Ahlgren Abraham; March 28, 1909 – May 9, 1981) was an American writer. His 1949 novel The Man with the Golden Arm won the National Book Award and was adapted as the 1955 film of the same name.

Algren articulated the world of "drunks, pimps, prostitutes, freaks, drug addicts, prize fighters, corrupt politicians, and hoodlums". Art Shay singled out a poem Algren wrote from the perspective of a "halfy," street slang for a legless man on wheels. Shay said that Algren considered this poem to be a key to everything he had ever written. The protagonist talks about "how forty wheels rolled over his legs and how he was ready to strap up and give death a wrestle."

According to Harold Augenbraum, "in the late 1940s and early 1950s he was one of the best known literary writers in America." A lover of French writer Simone de Beauvoir, he is featured in her novel The Mandarins, set in Paris and Chicago. He was called "a sort of bard of the down-and-outer" based on this book, but also on his short stories in The Neon Wilderness (1947) and his novel A Walk on the Wild Side (1956). The latter was adapted as the 1962 film of the same name (directed by Edward Dmytryk, screenplay by John Fante).

Jean-Paul Sartre [žán pol sártr] (21. června 1905 – 15. dubna 1980) byl francouzský filozof, spisovatel, dramatik, literární kritik a politický aktivista. Patří mezi nejvýznamnější postavy poválečné kultury v Evropě. Byl jedním z hlavních představitelů existencialismu a marxismu ve 20. století.

Sartre svým dílem ovlivnil nejen filozofii, ale také sociologii, literární kritiku či postkoloniální studia. Často bývá také zmiňován pro nekonvenční, nicméně celoživotní vztah se spisovatelkou a feministickou teoretičkou Simone de Beauvoir.

V roce 1964 mu byla udělena Nobelova cena za literaturu. On ji však odmítl s odůvodněním, že nikdy nepřijal žádné oficiální vyznamenání a věří, že spisovatel nesmí dopustit, aby se z něj stala instituce.

Claude Lanzmann (French: [lanzman]; 27 November 1925 – 5 July 2018) was a French filmmaker, best known for the Holocaust documentary film Shoah (1985), which consists of nine and a half hours of oral testimony from Holocaust survivors, without historical footage. He is also known for his 2017 documentary film Napalm, about a love affair he had with a North Korean nurse whilst visiting North Korea in 1958, several years after the Korean War.

In addition to filmmaking, Lanzmann had also been the chief editor of Les Temps Modernes, a French literary magazine.
