Présentation de l'éditeur
The Caf6 Cardinal All Englishmen are pigs !observed a young man who stood swaying in the doorway of the Cafe Cardinal. Nobody replied to this criticism. The cafe was full. The young man advanced unsteadily to the centre of the long room and looked about for a seat. His lustreless eyes travelled from table to table until they became fixed on a group of people in the embrasure of one of the windows which opened on the Rue des Fxoles. Toward these people he shuffled, but when he laid a heavy hand on the shoulder of one, a woman, she cried out and shrank away. A man sitting beside her started up angrily, but sat down again when he saw who it was, and resumed his jaunty air. It s Isidore Weser, he chuckled. Room was made at the marble-topped table. Sit down, I sidore, said the jaunty man. Your legs seem very, very tired. But Weser still stood swaying before the table, turning his eyes from one to another; then he addressed each in turn :B on jour, Faustine, bon jour, Tribert, bon jour, Sarre, bon jour Sit down !S it down !said Tribert, impatiently. Weser replied with a yell that drew the attention of the whole cafe. This seemed to be what he wanted. When I came in, he explained, I made a remark to which nobody paid the slightest attention. I advanced a proposition which called for comment. There was no comment. He paused, fixing a glassy eye on Landes, who from a distant table was looking curiously at him over the edge of a newspaper. I will repeat my remark, he resumed.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
