To his credit, immediately, the reading pleasure, the "leg" of the author, his nervous style, modern. The adventurous scent too, as it should, with Kessel. Interesting moments:
- The elegance of Roberta who assists in her bath seizure by bailiffs of all the furniture of his beautiful apartment Passy dock.
- How The Droz gets his scoop for The Little French and wrote feverishly, in defiance of its consequences, the article in the scandal that will project light. All our investigative journalism is crunched in these lines!
Pleasant reading, but not sure the book adds to the glory of the great Kessel, although it is indicative of the spirit of an era and the neo-romantic dreams of a generation in search of thrills that History would give them in abundance!
