Sinopsis
Excerpt from My Uncle Benjamin
I really do not know why man so clings to life. What does he find that is so agreeable in this insipid succession of nights and days, of winter and spring? Always the same sky, the same sun; always the same green pastures and the same yellow fields; always the same speeches of the crown, the same knaves and the same dupes. If this is the best that God could do, he is a sorry workman, and the sceneshifter at the Grand Opera is cleverer than he.

Excerpt from My Uncle Benjamin: A Humorous, Satirical, and Philosophical Novel
I resurrect a buried treasure; a novel unlike any other, by an author unlike any other; a novel, as Charles Monselet says, that "has no equivalent in the literature of this century"; a novel which, despite the pessimism with which it opens and the pathos with which it closes, - yes, even in these, - must take rank among the wittiest and most humorous ever written; a novel of philosophy, of progress, of reality, of humanity; a novel of the heart and of the head; a novel that is less a work of art than a work of genius, - the work of an obscure genius, a child of the French Revolution, who lived and died early in the nineteenth century and will be famous early in the twentieth.
