Histoire de la sexualité I : La volonté de savoir First edition, of which there were no large paper copies, an advance [service de presse] copy. Autograph inscription signed by Michel Foucault to his close friend, the academic Robert Mauzi. Their long friendship began at the Thiers Foundation, where they both had residencies, and continued throughout their careers in Paris universities. With Roland Barthes, they formed a trio of intellectuals animated by a deep friendship that evolved in academic circles and revolutionized modern thinking. This inscription evokes Mauzi's great role in the life of the author, having been with him throughout the publication of his brilliant writings. A good copy.
