A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

He lay snug as a beast in its lair, in a cranny between the wall and a huge ancient doweivchest I ts lid gaped back to roof him; its farrago of musty garments was flung on the floor to make his bed. The chest was of oak, very old and black; the floor was oaken, black with time where it was not white with dust; the walls were of the same somber wood, the panels adorned with stags heads. Cobwebs festooned the antlers, where also hung a colony of bats; the ceilings carved arabesques harbored a nest of hungry birdlings. So large and high was the apartment that ceiling and walls melted into cavernous gloom. Thinking the day at dawn, he lay still, pondering his fate, in no haste to quit his shelter for the hazards of the world. A low roar filled his ears; he knew it for the sea, hammering the distant cliffs.
