Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Constantinople

Vous avez lu sans doute les spirituelles plaisanteries de M�ry sur l'alt�ration de Marseille et la tristesse des fentai nes, qui, � force d'architecture, t�chaient de faire oublier qu'elles manquaient d'eau. Les travaux de d�tournementde la Durance sont achev�s, et chaque bastide s'enorgueillit au jourd'hui d'un bassin et d'un jet d'eau. Ll en est qui poussent la fatuit� jusqu'� la cascade. Marseille va �tre entour�e bient�t d'une foule de Versailles, de Marly et de saint-cloud en mi niature; avant peu, j'en ai bien peur, ces magnifiques ter rains calcin�s de lumi�re, ces beaux rochers couleur de li�ge et de pain grill� seront rev�tus de v�g�tation, etle vert - �pi nard, joie des propri�taires, terreur des paysagistes, fera dispara�tre cette �tincelante aridit�.
