This is an automatically translated description

The monograph offers a reading of the literary works of the French writer Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986): Tangerines (1954), Force Majeure (1960), A Very Sweet Death (1964), Magic Pictures (1966), A Broken Woman (1968), Transatlantic Love (1997), revises her reputation (bringing her out of the shadow of J.-P.P. Sartre) and recodes her role and place in the history of twentieth-century literature. In her artistic form, S. de Beauvoir combined the parable and journalistic layers. The parable layer emerges from the "myth" of Adam and Eve, while the journalistic layer is based on the comprehension of historical, political, and cultural events. Eve absorbed the archetypes of the ancient Greek goddesses. The archetypes of goddesses are manifested in artistic images according to the "feminine" - alchemical goddess (Aphrodite from the Great Goddess archetype), "feminist" - virgin goddesses (Artemis, Athena, Hestia), and "feminine" - vulnerable goddesses (Hera, Demeter, Persephone) concepts. We see a significant artistic and aesthetic contribution of the writer in the creation of "feminine" artistic images (where the archetype of Aphrodite is revealed), which, through the problem of choice, introduce the idea of the importance of "love", get rid of the feelings and status of the "Other" as an inferiority complex, and reach the level of creative self-realisation of the existent. S. de Beauvoir realises the phenomenon of literary existentialism as a problem of choice, which the writer poses to the hero and contributes to his evolution. S. de Beauvoir's creation of influential heroines, in line with the "feminine" concept, reaches its highest resonance in the mid-twentieth century and extends to the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
