About
"The papers certainly testify to the power of the letter, and the richness of the human character reflected through the written word. Read them and you share a lifetime, live it day by day and often hour by hour with the intimacy of a diary, but the objectivity of many voices speaking in an often cacophonous manner. You come to know Adolphe de Bourqueney in a way which the oral or visual form cannot transmit. He is there in all of his complex and frequently contradictory nature: the petty and the grand, the self-serving and the selfless, the rake and the saint. His "encyclopedia" turned out to be exactly that."--BOOK JACKET.
