Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Complete Writings of Alfred De Musset, Vol. 3: A Venetian Night; Andre De Sarto; The Follies of Marianne; Fantasio No Trifling With Love; Barberine Granted that in our time, books are but ob ects of distraction, pure superżuities, in which the Agreeable, that antiquated fool, incessantly f or gets his brother Utility, it seems to me that if I were entrusted with the difiicult role of critic for a production of any kind, at the moment when I laid down the book to take up the pen, the venerable figure of Goethe, with his Homeric dignity and old-fashioned simplicity, would ap pear before me. And, in fact, all who write books are inspired by three considerations. First, self -love, or in other words the desire for glory; second, the need of occupation; and third, pecuniary gain. According to age and circum stances, these three motives vary and take the first or last place in the author's thoughts; but they none the less exist.
