Simone de Beauvoir (1908 1986) was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, social theorist, and feminist activist. She has had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory. Beauvoir wrote novels, essays, biographies, autobiographies, and monographs on philosophy, politics, and social issues. She was known for her 1949 treatise The Second Sex - a detailed analysis of women's oppression and a foundational tract of contemporary feminism - and for her novels, including She Came to Stay and The Mandarins. Published in 1954, The Mandarins was awarded 1954 Prix Goncourt. The book is set after the end of World War II and follows the personal lives of philosophers and friends among Sartre's and Beauvoir's intimate circle, including her relationship with American writer Nelson Algren, to whom the book was dedicated.

Softcover Satin Finish. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. ### Puppet on a Chain by Alister Maclean 1970 His 1969 best seller, A Thrilling Journey Through Amsterdam's Underworld ### ## THIS BOOk: Classified: VERY GOOD is the 1970 Edition. The book was published first in 1969 by William Collins, and this continental edition was published in 1970. It has a few shelf and handling marks, with some slight discolouring of page edges owing to the quality of the paper stock; the spine is tight #. READ ON: We provide images of all our books and maps so you know what you buy. READ ON for more information and details. ## ## In the shadowy alleys of Old Amsterdam, where canals weave through centuries-old buildings, secrets fester, and danger lurks. Alistair Maclean's gripping novel, "Puppet on a Chain," thrusts us into this intoxicating world of narcotics, betrayal, and relentless pursuit.## ## Plot: The story concerns the seasoned Interpol Narcotics Bureau agent Paul Sherman. Sherman is no stranger to danger, relying on his wits and brute force to combat drug trafficking. When he receives a tip about a ruthless heroin smuggling ring operating in the Netherlands, he dives headfirst into the treacherous waters of Amsterdam's underworld.## ## But this isn't a straightforward investigation. Sherman's path is fraught with peril from the outset. As he navigates the labyrinthine streets, he witnesses assassinations, faces off against local authorities, and grapples with betrayal. His two female assistants?one experienced, the other a rookie?add a touch of humour to the tense narrative.## ## Alistair MacLean, known for his taut storytelling, delivers once again?the novel brims with biting dialogue, twisting plots, and vivid local atmospherics. Sherman's bantering relationship with his assistants provides fun moments amid the escalating danger. But as betrayal chips away at his investigation, Sherman must resort to increasingly violent measures to stay one step ahead. ## The climax unfolds above the cobblestone streets of Amsterdam. Sherman fights to save the life of his surviving female operative, unsure whom to trust. Every encounter could be a trap, every ally a puppet dancing on invisible strings. The tension builds to a crescendo, leaving readers breathless.## ## Critical Acclaim: The New York Times hailed "Puppet on a Chain" as "one of the best in the Greene-Ambler-MacInnes tradition." MacLean's writing is as crisp as a sunny winter morning. The book soared to bestseller status, captivating readers worldwide.## ## Penguin Books: A Tale of Affordable Literature: Origins: In the bustling literary landscape of 1930s Britain, a visionary named Allen Lane stepped forward. His dream? To make quality books accessible to all?books that could be "bought as easily and casually as a packet of cigarettes." Thus, in 1935, Penguin Books was born. Lane's mission was clear: democratise reading.## ## The Penguin Revolution: With its iconic orange and white covers, Penguin revolutionised publishing. Lane's brainchild offered a treasure trove of literature spanning genres and eras. From classic novels to thought-provoking non-fiction, Penguin catered to diverse tastes. And it did so at a price that didn't break the bank.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY. Please get in touch with me for a shipping quotation. ##. No Author signature.
