About the Book

" Vers la fin du mois d'octobre dernier, un jeune homme entra dans le Palais-Royal au moment où les maisons de jeu s'ouvraient, conformément à la loi qui protège une passion essentiellement imposable. Sans trop hésiter, il monta l'escalier du tripot désigné sous le nom de numéro 36. Monsieur, votre chapeau, s'il vous plaît ? lui cria d'une voix sèche et grondeuse un petit vieillard blême accroupi dans l'ombre, protégé par une barricade, et qui se leva soudain en montrant une figure moulée sur un type ignoble. Quand vous entrez dans une maison de jeu, la loi commence par vous dépouiller de votre chapeau. Est-ce une parabole évangélique et providentielle ! N'est-ce pas plu- tôt une manière de conclure un contrat infernal avec vous en exigeant je ne sais quel gage ? Serait-ce pour vous obliger à garder un maintien respectueux devant ceux qui vont gagner votre argent ? Est-ce la police tapie dans tous les égouts sociaux qui tient à savoir le nom de votre chapelier ou le vôtre, si vous l'avez inscrit sur la coiffe ? Est-ce enfin pour prendre la mesure de votre crâne et dresser une statistique instructive sur la capacité cérébrale des joueurs ? Sur ce point l'administration garde un silence complet. Mais, sachez-le bien, à peine avez-vous fait un pas vers le tapis vert, déjà votre chapeau ne vous appartient pas plus que vous ne vous appartenez à vous-même: vous êtes au jeu, vous, votre fortune, votre coiffe, votre canne et votre manteau. À votre sortie, le JEU vous démontrera, par une atroce épigramme en action, qu'il vous laisse encore quelque chose en vous rendant votre bagage. Si toutefois vous avez une coiffure neuve, vous apprendrez à vos dépens qu'il faut se faire un costume de joueur...."
