«Las bellas imágenes» is Simone de Beauvoir's social critique novel, published by Edhasa in 2004 in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Laurence works in advertising and embodies the ideal lives she designs in her ads: young, attractive, married, and with two daughters. That perfect facade begins to erase her identity, and in asking herself who she is, Laurence questions appearances, bourgeois hypocrisy, and the emptiness of consumer society.
The translation is by José Bianco and the edition belongs to the Pocket collection, no. 79. This novel was originally published in French in 1966 under the title «Les belles images».
For readers of contemporary fiction and of Simone de Beauvoir's work interested in the critique of appearances and women's emancipation.
Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, social theorist, and feminist activist. Though she did not consider herself a philosopher, nor was she considered one at the time of her death, she had a significant influence on both feminist existentialism and feminist theory.
