Doce relatos nacidos al abrigo del otoño. El paisaje otoñal no solo tiñe el paisaje de grises y ocres, también mueve las mentes creativas a la introspección. Lo que alumbró el otoño son historias donde las frivolidades del mundo se alzan contra los protagonistas. El consumismo exacerbado, la constante búsqueda del éxito, las apariencias morales en la política y la publicidad hunden las esperanzas y el romanticismo.

Dans ce recueil du début du XXe siècle, Georges Fourest compose des contes vifs et malicieux où l’humour et la satire s’allient à une observation sociale aussi fine que piquante. D’une histoire à l’autre, les situations se dérobent, les points de vue se renversent, et la comédie humaine, tour à tour burlesque, ironique ou cruellement lucide, prend des reflets inattendus. Entre légèreté et mordant, ces textes courts épinglent travers, illusions et prétentions.
