Hvem daterede Simone de Beauvoir?

Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir (født 9. januar 1908, død 14. april 1986) var fransk forfatter, feminist og filosof.

Hun studerede filosofi på Sorbonne universitetet i Paris fra 1927 til 1929, hvor hun blot 21 år gammel, som den yngste nogensinde, bestod den konkurrenceprægede agrégation-eksamen. Her blev hun nr. to – kun overgået af Jean-Paul Sartre, som gik på samme skole (det var dog hans andet forsøg på den eksamen).

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 Charles Aymard Sartre (født 21. juni 1905, død 15. april 1980) var en fransk filosof og forfatter.

Sartre var den mest kendte repræsentant for den filosofiske retning eksistentialismen, og han var grundlægger af den eksistentielle fænomenologi sammen med Merleau-Ponty og Heidegger. Desuden skrev han romaner og skuespil. De eksistentielle temaer blev ofte udforsket i disse værker. Han har blandt andet skrevet filmmanuskriptet Terningerne er kastet, romanen Kvalme, novellesamlingen Muren, romanserien Frihedens veje, bestående af Ensom blandt mennesker, Galgenfrist, Med døden i hjertet og Historien om Brunet. Blandt hans fiktionsværker giver Kvalme (1938) sikkert det bedste indblik i hans eksistentialistiske tænkning.

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.
