Never did I feel the slightest jealousy or the slightest embitterment or exasperation when it came to him. . I was intensely close to Michel for a full six years, until his death, and I lived in his apartment for close to a year. Today I see that time as the period that changed my life, my cut-off from a fate leading to the precipice. In no specific way I'm grateful to Michel, without knowing for exactly what, for a better life.\u003cbr\u003e--from \u003ci\u003eLearning What Love Means\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1978, Mathieu Lindon met Michel Foucault. Lindon was twenty-three years old, part of a small group of jaded but innocent, brilliant, and sexually ambivalent friends who came to know Foucault. At first the nominal caretakers of Foucault's apartment on rue de Vaugirard when he was away, these young friends eventually shared their time, drugs, ambitions, and writings with the older Foucault. Lindon's friend, the late Herve Guibert, was a key figure within this group. The son of the renowned founder of Editions de Minuit, Lindon grew up with Marguerite Duras, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and Samuel Beckett as family friends. Much was expected of him. But, as he writes in this remarkable spiritual autobiography, it was through his friendship with Foucault--who was neither lover nor father but an older friend--that he found the direction that would influence the rest of his life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Bruce Benderson writes in his introduction, The book is a collage of free-associated episodes and interpretatons that together compose for the reader a kind of manual about how to love. . As he runs from apartment to apartment, job to job, or lover to lover, the book becomes a story of conversion testifying to an author's radical change of viewpoint, which leads to his invitation into the social world through lessons about love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA brilliant meditation on friendship, \u003ci\u003eLearning What Loves Means\u003c\/i\u003e provides an insight into a part of Foucault's life and work that until now, remained unkown. The book won the prestigious Prix M dicis in 2011 when it was published in French.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49733404557585,"sku":"NGR9781584351863","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50027709366545,"sku":"GOR009483946","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1584351861.jpg?v=1751374876"},{"product_id":"ce-qu-aimer-veut-dire-book-mathieu-lindon-9782070450343","title":"Ce qu'aimer veut dire","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50049011843345,"sku":"GOR006791881","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53545983410449,"sku":"GOR014957263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2070450341.jpg?v=1751125716"},{"product_id":"archive-an-book-mathieu-lindon-9781635902402","title":"An Archive, An","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn intimate memoir of growing up inside legendary Parisian publishing house Les ditions de Minuit.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eI wanted to tell the story of Les ditions de Minuit as I saw them as a child.

It is the tale of its editor, Jer me Lindon, who directed the publishing house from 1948 until his death in 2001. It is also the chronicle of growing up in a family of writers who were, to the eyes of a young child, the temple of literature. Looking back on a childhood immersed in books, Mathieu Lindon draws a portrait of his father, narrating his use of power and his avarice, but also his generosity, his enthusiasm for literature and defense of authors, and his commitment to politics-during the German Occupation, through the Algerian War of Independence, and for the Palestinian cause after the Arab-Israeli War of 1967. Opening the archive of his own memory, Lindon gives a moving, ferocious, and often funny account of a defining period of twentieth-century French intellectual history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51627816648977,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51627816780049,"sku":"NGR9781635902402","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1635902401.jpg?v=1769680872"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-mathieu-lindon.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
