Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To the younger French reader today, M. Mauriac is better known as a journalist, as an academician, and even as a polemicist than as a novelist.
