We are attaching a handwritten letter signed by the author to Mr. Boisson.
Ideas can be formidable poisons, and when genius or talent spreads them, the harm can be irreparable. There is no doubt that many literary works have corrupted many individuals and inspired them with a disgust for life, immorality, and love of evil. This is especially evident nowadays, where cynical advertising delivers literary poison to anyone, only manipulable by masked and rubber-gloved professionals. To answer your last question, I would choose among all Jean-Jacques Rousseau. My best regards. Camille Mauclair.
