All Men Are Mortal by Simone de Beauvoir
The novel explores the existential themes of immortality and the human condition through the story of a man who cannot die. As he recounts his centuries-long life to a young actress, the narrative delves into his experiences of love, power, and the relentless passage of time, ultimately questioning the meaning and value of life when it is stripped of its finitude. The interplay between the immortal protagonist and the mortal characters highlights the profound impact of mortality on human ambition, relationships, and the pursuit of fulfillment.
