This booklet was heckled me from its title and summary. The general pattern is this: a man, a former army officer, is in a delicate financial situation. It seeks work and will try to enter Zapparoni service, in particular industrial universe, brilliant inventor and major financial magnate. We will therefore follow the narrator in his pursuit of this work in the discovery of the world and especially in the Zapparoni memories spill over the course of his meetings. We take a sort of philosophical tale that takes the reader to a certain atmosphere. It alternates between beauty / engineering and critic of the war in particular, and the society of the time (between the wars).
