Excerpt from Underground Man

It is perhaps remarkable that for so many people, so tremendous a theme as the material future Of mankind should only be approachable either through a method Of conscientiously technical, pseudo-scientific discussion that is in effect scarcely an approach at all or else in this mood of levity. I know of no book in this direction that can claim to be a permanent success which combines a tolerable intelligibility with a simple good faith in the reader. One may Speculate how this comes aboutp The subject it would seem is so grave and great as to be incompatibly out of pro portion to the affairs and conditions of the individual life about which our workaday thinking goes on. We are interested indeed.

Excerpt from Underground Man

The whole of Tarde is in this little book.

He has put into it along with a charming fancy his genialness and depth of spirit, his ideas on the influence of art and the importance of love, in an exceptional social milieu.

This agreeable daydream is vigorously thought out. On reading it we fancy we are again seeing and hearing Tarde. In order to indulge in a repetition of the illusion, a pious friendship has desired to clothe this fascinating work in an appropriate dress.
