Synopsis
Excerpt from Conscience (Conscience)
About this time Hector Malot resolved not to write fiction any more. He announced this determination in a card published in the journal, Le T emps, May 25, 1895. It was then maliciously stated that M. Malot his retired from business after having accumulated a fortune. However, he took up his pen again and pub lished a history of his literary life: Le Roman de mes Romans besides two volumes of fiction, l'amour dominateur and Pages choisies works which showed that, in the language of Holy Writ, his eye was not dimmed nor his natural force abated, and afiorded him a triumph over his slanderers.

About the Author
Hector Malot (1830-1907) was a French writer born in La Bouille, Seine-Maritime. He studied law in Rouen and Paris, but eventually literature became his passion. He worked as a dramatic critic for Lloyd Francais and as a literary critic for "L'Opinion Nationale." His first book, published in 1859, was" Les Amants." Malot eventually wrote more than 70 books. By far his most famous book is "Sans Famille" ("Nobody's Boy, " 1878), which deals with the travels of the young orphan Remi, who is sold to the street musician Vitalis at age 10. "Sans Famille" gained fame as a children's book, though it was not originally intended as such. He announced his retirement as an author of fiction in 1895, but in 1896 he returned with the novel "L'amour Dominateur" as well as the account of his literary life "Le Roman de mes Romans" (The Novel of my Novels).
