Synopsis
Excerpt from Raca
Par ce temps où règnent toutes les folies, on ne glose guère que de docu ments humains ou surhumains en voici quelques - uns simplement historiques. Ils ont été colljgés avec soin, au jour le jour, de 1865 à 1887, et les pages sui vantes qu'ils me fournirent peu à peu, datent, la plupart, d'une foule d'événe ments auxquels j'assistai, pendant cette période et souvent malgré moi, dans Paris où se condense excessivement, à mes yeux, la vie de la nation formée pourtant de peuples si divers et confon dus sous la dénomination non moinsabsurde qu'1mpertinente de Français. Elles émouvront peut - être ceux de mes contemporains qui n'ont pas seulement vécu de soupes et de bifteacksdurant un quart de soecle, et, si je ne m'abuse, on les citera comme la quintessence de mon oeuvre, ailleurs comme ici, quand je ne serai plus là, car mon coeur y bat tout entier, et, certes, ma plume en a tracé chaque ligne avec moins d'encre que de.
