Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from La Comedie de l'Apotre
Des affames de popularite lui repetent sans cesse sur tous les tous qu'il est grand, genereux, omnipotent, et le peuple, dans sa naivete, les croit. Or le peuple, avec son entourage de courtisans plus empres ses que ceux de Louis XIV, s'il dispose de millions de voix, se laisse entrainer par des milliers d'utopies aussi sa puissance, sa faiblesse, ses aspirations loyales, ses deconvenues quotidiennes, sa credulite d'enfant, ses defiances, le bandeau que ses thuriferaires lui attachent sur les yeux, devaient tenter plus d'un satirique.
