A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As a dyspeptic, I had so often envied the little animal called the sea-cucumber, which is said to possess the wonderful power of providing itself with a new stomach as soon as the old one has worn out; and yet, when it was intimated to me that I might die, that I might shortly put by my whole inert body, so worn and wasted with sickness, as one puts by a cast-off garment, and awake to consciousness in a more perfect and never-dying spiritual body above the realm of matter, I cannot say that I was pleased. Not that I seriously doubted the basis of probability leading to the prospect held out to me by the grave, kindly man who had come to sit at my bedside and speak hopeful words; on the contrary, it had always seemed to me that there must be a God, and immortality for his creature, man. To die and never live again was to my mind a condition or destiny inexplicable, monstrous, impossible.
