Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This novel is set in France and written in the first person. The character, Fabien Jean Jacques Moillard - a barrister, describes how he has the great misfortune one day of dropping a large blot of ink in a library on a precious Folio document. He feels it is almost the start of what has been a very insignificant life so far and begins to keep his memoir from that point.
