Simone De Beauvoir SIGNED 2 BOOKS Les Ecrits 1979 La Ceremonie Des Adieux 1981

Description: Two books by Simone De Beauvoir, each inscribed to Oreste Pucciani, a personal friend of SDB and Jean-Paul Sartre. - La Cérémonie des adieux, published in 1981 by Gallimard. 559 pages, in french. There is a handwritten note by Mr. Pucciani at back of book (pictured) in which he writes simply "Mon nom: pg 83" On page 83, pictured, his name does appear in SDB's account, together with a footnote. - Les Ecrits de Simone De Beauvoir, published in 1979 by Gallimard. 614 pages, in french. This book is actually dedicated to Oreste Pucciani, to whom Ms. DB has written a note on the title page, dated December '79. Oreste Francesco Pucciani was a pioneer teacher of Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophy at UCLA. He was the last partner of Rudi Gernreich, fashion designer, and at the latter's death, established the ACLU Rudi Gernreich-Oreste Pucciani Endowment Fund to support the fight for LGBT rights. Pucciani pioneered in teaching courses on Sartre at UCLA before the philosopher's works were translated into English. In his 31 years in the department he directed some 33 doctoral dissertations, many of which dealt with Sartrean existentialism and related literary subjects. Pucciani was a frequent participant in conferences on Sartre both in the United States and in France. He lectured on Sartre at the Sorbonne and in recent years was honored for his lifelong contributions to Sartre scholarship by the North American Sartre Society. Please check back as I have a number of other books from Mr. Pucciani's collection, all of which have to do with Jean-Paul Sartre/ Sartrean studies.
