A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

To M, at Parts, January 15, 1864. Do you know anything more disagreeable than an entracte? You sit uneasily in your chair and stretch your limbs and yawn discreetly. Your eyes ache ;wandering about the house, they fix themselves for the hundredth time on the jaded features of the musicians: on the first violinist showing himself off, on the clarionette player taking breath, and on the patient basso resembling a hack horse resting after a relay. You turn round to the boxes, and over snowy shoulders perceive a big black spot, an enormous lorgnette, which like a huge proboscis seems to conceal the face behind it. A thick deleterious atmosphere hangs over the crowded parterre and orchestra ;through the cloud of illuminated dust you detect a multitude of uneasy faces grimacing and smiling hypocritically; bad humour reveals itself beneath politeness and de - corum. You buy a newspaper and find it stupid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
