I like the character of Philibert Besson and I made myself a joy to read this book. What a disappointment! It's badly written! The author wants to tell lots of stories about the character, is good but it is let, obviously overwhelmed by his subject and can not order them in large coherent whole that would understand that it means and to get an idea of Philibert Besson. For those interested, I recommend "the wisp of the Republic" ...
