Présentation de l'éditeur

WiXH A PEN. These characters are not portraits, neither are they caricatures, nor, in any sense, types. There are more unreal people in the world than in books. The pestilential forests of satire are as full of them as the Andes with unexplored wealth. Your sober novelist, like the long-established merchant, looks askance at any attempt to develop such realms. They smell of wild cat. So their exploitation is left to dare-devil, adventurous, and consequently questionable pioneers who, if they come back from the frontiers of literature with fortune, are belauded and, if without, threatened with condign punishment the usual conventional stor. But hope is not always to the confident, disappointment to the doubtful, or respectability to the virtuous. This book has all the vices of the age, but if it deserves burning it was worth writing. Shall I be misunderstood? In that case twere useless to explain.
