    "From their first meeting in the summer of 1929, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir shared an intense, passionate, and sometimes painful love-affair that was to last fifty-one tempestuous years. As the creators of existentialism, Sartre and Beauvoir became an inspiration for their generation, the model couple of the counter-culture." "But behind the legend lies a dark story of collusion and betrayal, sexual, social and political. A story which reveals the dangerous side to their philosophy of free love, for the search for authenticity was, in their private lives, a sham. To keep Sartre's love, Beauvoir sacrificed the girls she seduced. Sartre clandestinely compromised with the Nazis and fell into a Soviet honey-trap, his passion for a KGB spy leading him to support a cruel and oppressive Communist regime." "A Dangerous Liaison reveals the full implications of Sartre and Beauvoir's sacrifices and betrayals, using unpublished sources - including recently discovered reports from the Russian archives - to cast new light on the legend that this notorious, brilliant couple created."--BOOK JACKET.

    Since the last biography of Montesquieu in English (Shackleton, Oxford, 1961) Montesquieu scholarship has been entirely renewed, culminating in a critical edition of his complete works in twenty-two volumes that is nearing completion. Since 1998, this new edition of the complete works has considerably modified what was known about Montesquieu and his procedures, eliciting new translations and further studies. Additionally, several thousand manuscript pages were made public in 1994 and continue to generate further scholarly inquiry. The author of this compact biography, originally published by Gallimard 2017, is the director of the critical edition of the works and the most qualified scholar of Montesquieu. At once an introduction to Montesquieu's thought and a synthesis of current knowledge about his life and work, this book is full of insights and revised judgements about Montesquieu and how his political philosophy helped thrust Enlightenment onto the European agenda
