Survivors race against time to stop devastating storm that has causied the deaths of tens of millions and threatens to extinct the human race.

Simone de Beauvoir met Nelson Algren in Chicago in February 1947, when a mutual friend arranged for him to serve as her tour guide for two days. It was love at first sight, and a pssionate love affair ensued spanning twenty years and four continents in an era when transatlantic flight took 24 hours and overseats telephone calls were a luxury. The result is that de Beauvoir's 300 surviving letters to Algren are unusually rich in detail--love letters with a conscious undercurrent of French social history offer amusing insights into postwar Parisian life and characters, delivered with the charm of the nonnative writer.
