'Probably de Beauvoir's strangest and most compelling novel' Ingrams 'A writer whose tears for her characters freeze as they drop' Sunday Times


Regina is a talented actress, a modern woman of her time, the 1940s. When she meets the unconventional Fosca, an ascetic who appears to subsist without eating, who she suspects as some kind of fakery. But gradually Fosca's story unfolds: born in 1279, he accepted immortality in a dare with a sorcerer, believing it to be the greatest prize life could hold. Now, more than six centuries later, having presided over the rise and fall of kingdoms, having watched a succession of wives, children and grandchildren die before him, he has come to regard his state as a curse. De Beauvoir chronicles Regina's changing feelings towards Fosca as he tells his story. The first British publication of this extraordinary novel is a timely reminder that Simone de Beavoir was a gifted, imaginative writer, as well as a great thinker. (Kirkus UK)
