The Reckoning: An Autobiography of Beauvoir/清算已毕：波伏瓦自传

This book is the last volume of Simone de Beauvoir's four-volume memoirs. In this volume, Beauvoir reviews the causes of her personality, her interactions with important female friends, her experiences traveling around the world with Sartre, her reading and writing, her views on literature, art and international politics, etc. She also further supplements and elaborates on some feminist viewpoints mentioned in "The Second Sex". It can be said to be a summary and sublimation of the first three volumes, and is of great significance to the study of Beauvoir's works and life.
