"Paul Veyne's quirky and involving book is an idiosyncratic and personal tribute, which is obviously, and movingly, deeply felt"

"Foucault is well- known as one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Writing from his profound knowledge of the man, Paul Veyne here vividly brings out his character and personality."
Geoffrey Lloyd, University of Cambridge
"It is fascinating to follow Paul Veyne’s engagement with Foucault: he was extremely close to Foucault, as the celebrated history of sexuality developed as a project, and this essay, which mixes reminiscences with argument and reflection, captures a real flavour of the intellectual excitement of those times."
Simon Goldhill, University of Cambridge
Paul Veyne is Honorary Professor at the Collège de France.
