Ce livre est une satire du roman gothique populaire du XVIIIe siècle. L'auteur, Laurent Bordelon, raconte l'histoire de M. Oufle, un jeune homme qui devient obsédé par les livres sur la magie et l'occulte. Cela le conduit à imaginer des monstres et des fantômes effrayants qui n'existent que dans son propre esprit. Cette oeuvre est un exemple fascinant de la manière dont la littérature a été utilisée pour explorer les peurs et les fantasmes de la société.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
