How are they used by society, and how in turn do they define the generation that we are taught to respect and love but instead castigate and avoid? Most importantly, how is our treatment of this generation a reflection of our society's values and priorities? In The Coming of Age, Simone de Beauvoir seeks greater understanding of our perception of elders. With bravery, tenacity, and forceful honesty, she guides us on a study spanning a thousand years and a variety of different nations and cultures to provide a clear and alarming picture of "Society's secret shame"--the separation and distance from our communities that the old must suffer and endure.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 861gAuthor: Simone de BeauvoirTranslator: Patrick O'BrianContributor: Patrick O'Brian (Translated by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, FictionRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
