Plus satisfaisant, mais moins compréhensible, en français.

"Le souper fut comme la plupart des soupers de Paris; d'abord du silence, ensuite un bruit de paroles qu'on ne distingue point, puis des plaisanteries dont la plupart sont insipides, de fausses nouvelles, de mauvais raisonnemens [sic], un peu de politique et beaucoup de médisance"

I did not think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. Surprisingly amusing and refreshing, a fast read.

Lita sätungläst som en 1000 sidors roman trots att den bara har 120 sidor. Innehållet är också extremt komprimerat så att det faktskt hände lika mycket på 120 sidor som i en 1000 sidors roman... Inte min typ av bok, väldigt rörig...
