Abstract

The article works about two kinds of writing of Simone de Beauvoir. It takes part of her theoretical writing, El Segundo sexo, and three of her autobiographies books: La ceremonia del adiós, Una muerte muy dulce y Final de cuentas. The point of the critic's analyses between those two kinds of creations is the plot "de la madurez a la vejez". So the article proposes a dialogic articulation between Simone de Beauvoir's discourses of essays and the autobiographical writing. The goal is analyses the crosses, invasions, separations and the way in which each one give splendor to the other.
