London

The summer is as hot as the winter was cold. Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre wander around in the British capital on 15 July, warm and hungry.

London leaves a sombre impression. So many buildings bombed to pieces, such shabby clothes, so little food. As if there is still a war on. Everything is serious and poor, Simone notes in a letter to her beloved Nelson. On the other hand, the people are very brave. And an increasingly dense layer of green is spreading over the ruins. Wild flowers, purple, red, and yellow, are growing in the bombsites, strange, unexpected gardens emerging where once a house stood. In the parks, people lie in the grass, unashamedly kissing. Fortunately, there is no shortage of scotch and soda.
