«Una muerte muy dulce» is Simone de Beauvoir's autobiographical account, published by Edhasa in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Simone de Beauvoir narrates her mother's illness and final days from the experience of accompanying her, turning that process into an inquiry into death, pain, and family bonds. She argues that death is not a natural phenomenon but a violence, and reflects on ways of facing it without easy comforts.
The work was published in Barcelona in 2003 in the Pocket collection, translated by María Elena Santillán.
For those who want to approach twentieth-century French literature through a brief, personal work centred on illness and death.
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.
