《危险关系》
　　Author： Carole Seymour-Jones Publisher： Century
　　This very readable book is about the relationship between Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir， and although the author is of course knowledgeable about their philosophies， her main interest is in the psychology of the pair.
　　From their adolescence onwards they had both rejected belief in God. This has made them the heroes of their followers and of many thoughtful people who have themselves wrestled with the moral problems raised by the absence of religious belief. But they fell very far short of what they preached： they lied； they seduced minors and casually wrecked other people's lives.
　　让·保罗·萨特和西蒙娜·德·波伏娃的故事几乎尽人皆知，给人印象最深的莫过于二人的“契约式爱情”——二人终生生活在一起，但绝不去履行结婚手续，他们是一对超越婚姻约束的自由情侣。这本书却为读者提供了一个完全不同的视角。作者运用许多从未公开的消息来源，通过集中分析这对情侣的心理，为读者揭开这段传奇爱情故事在现实中的黑暗面。
　　二人均是在少年时期就拒绝信仰上帝，让他们成为那些由于缺乏宗教信仰而产生道德问题的追随者的英雄。然而，二人却远远未能做到自己标榜的——他们撒谎了。A Dangerous Liaison顾名思意是指“危险关系”，在这本书中，萨特和波伏娃的自由哲学正如他们二人的关系一样充满了危险性。
