With each reading a book by Jean Teulé the same pulling back. On one hand, the discovery of a new episode in the history of France, the presentation of important figures who marked their epoch, and lighting unequivocal about their role and their psychology enrich the reader. On the other hand, the eye-catching style, the emphasis on what journalists call the 4 S (sex, penny, blood and scandal) and spring mainly from the tabloid press, and the shortcuts or obvious exaggerations, leave the reader puzzled as to the authenticity of the facts narrated. According to the books, the balance between the bottom (historical basis) and form (the literary extravaganza) is fairly well respected. This was the case of "I, François Villon" and to some extent "Eat it if you want." By cons, in "O Verlaine," and especially in this "Charly 9", adds Jean Teulé so in a certain nausea earns us. And that once again, the need to go check into a more serious book takes over. In the background, it is regrettable that the form comes distort the historical foundations, but it is still fundamental to the form to be informed about the depths of the Reformation.
