《独白》内容简介
是波伏瓦于1967年出版的短篇小说集,在波伏瓦付诸出版的论述、小说、自传以及书信等几大类文字中,属于她较后期的创作。
所收三个短篇都以女性为主人公,可以说是现代社会三种女性的现身说法。其中,《懂事年龄》讲述中年职业女性对自己、对丈夫、对儿子婚姻与职业前途的不满、焦虑;《独白》整篇是一个单身母亲的絮叨,神经质的话语之下涌动的是对小女儿自杀的痛切;《筋疲力尽的女人》则以日记的形式展现了一个家庭主妇应对丈夫婚外情的心路历程。
波伏瓦刻画了三个处于危机中的女人:一个自诩是好母亲,试图掌控一切;一个对家庭、子女满腹怨气又忧心忡忡;一个被丈夫抛弃,无所适从。小说集具有重要的社会学意义,是波伏瓦对女性命运、生活状况的反映,“筋疲力尽的女人是她自己所选择的生活的牺牲品,对家庭的依赖使她失去了一切……”“她报复的方式就是独白”。

A brief introduction to the Monologue
It is a collection of short stories published by de Beauvoir in 1967, and is one of the later works of Beauvoir's published essays, novels, autobiographies, and letters.
The three short stories are all female protagonists, which can be said to be the expression of three kinds of women in modern society. Among them, "Sensible Age" tells about middle-aged professional women's dissatisfaction and anxiety about themselves, their husbands, their sons' marriage and career prospects; "Monologue" is the whole of a single mother's rambling, neurotic words surging under the pain of the youngest daughter's suicide; "Exhausted Woman" takes the form of a diary to show a housewife coping with her husband's affair.
Beauvoir portrays three women in crisis: a self-proclaimed mother who tries to control everything; One is angry and worried about his family and children; Abandoned by her husband, she doesn't know what to do. The collection of stories has important sociological significance, is Beauvoir's reflection of women's fate and living conditions, "The exhausted woman is the victim of her own choice of life, the dependence on the family makes her lose everything..." "Her way of getting revenge is monologue."
