About the Book

" Vers la fin du dernier siècle, dans ce moment de décomposition sociale, où toute la morale se refaisait en France, parce qu'il n'y avait plus de morale, - singulière époque d'hésitation et de doute où l'on ne doutait de rien, - alors il se passa dans l'esprit de la nation d'étranges choses; on remit en question le bien et le mal, la vertu et le vice; on se demanda si le luxe était une nécessité, et s'il y avait, en effet, au fond des choses des distinctions sociales. Il y avait partout en France, dans les écoles, dans les salons, dans les camps, à la ville, à la cour, en province, des rhéteurs préparés à tout soutenir; surtout c'était une rage de perfection qui a perdu le peuple français. On perfectionnait la charrue et la soupe économique, on perfectionnait la matière et l'âme, on enseignait aux petits garçons l'art de penser, et aux petites filles l'art de faire des enfants d'esprit. On bouleversait cette pauvre nature sens-dessus-dessous, on l'agitait de fond en comble, on la perçait jusqu'à la craie, jusqu'à l'eau; on s'élevait dans l'air, on vivait dans l'eau, on ajoutait un sixième sens aux cinq sens que nous avons déjà. Il y avait des faiseurs de paix perpétuelle, des faiseurs d'anguilles vivantes avec de la farine, des faiseurs de canards mangeant et digérant, des faiseurs de bonheur universel. Dans ce temps-là, on vendait au coin des rues des bouteilles d'encre inépuisables, et des projets de coffres forts toujours pleins. En un mot, c'était le règne le plus absolu des ergoteurs, des enthousiastes, des dupes, des imbéciles, des gens d'esprit et des charlatans..."
