Description
The book All Men Are Mortal (Tous les hommes sont mortels) by Simone de Beauvoir tells the story of Count Raymond Fosca, an Italian nobleman condemned to eternal life. In the story, Régine, a young theater actress, cannot accept the independent existence of others, and even their presence often disturbs her. She is narcissistic and jealous, sometimes depriving herself of sleep out of envy for those who are awake. Régine dreams of immortality while paradoxically demanding attention from a world she considers worthless. One day, she meets Fosca and learns his secret, becoming fascinated by him and obsessed with the idea that her theater performances will live on in his mind. Fosca begins recounting his past and the deeds of the seven centuries he has lived, leaving the question of how these long memories will affect the ambitious young woman.
