Mon cher ami, en tete de ces pages, j'ai voulu, pour deux raisons tres fortes et tres precises, inscrire votre nom. D'abord, pour que vous sachiez combien votre nom m'est cher. Ensuite, -je le dis avec un tranquille orgueil, -parce que vous aimerez ce livre. Et ce livre, malgre tous ses defauts, vous l'aimerez, parce que c'est un livre sans hypocrisie, parce que c'est de la vie, et de la vie comme nous la comprenons, vous et moi.
