Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Le Style: Th�orie Et Histoire
Pour juger les �crivains ace point de vue, et leur assigner des rangs, il y aurait un moyen, ce serait de compter les fautes, comme au coll�ge. Celui qui en aurait le moins � son compte serait proclam� le pre mier. Ce proc�d� aurait le m�rite d'�tre un aveu. Il avouerait notre pens�e secr�te; il avouerait que nous regardons l'abstention absolue comme la perfection, et que, pour nous, celui qui n'a rien fait est celui qui a le mieux fait.
