Synopsis "Black (in French)"

Excerpt from Black: The Story of a Dog The Chevalier de la Graverie was on the second round of his walk about town. Perhaps a more logical way of entering upon the subject would be to inform the reader who the Chevalier de la Graverie was, and in which one of the eighty-six departments of France was situated the town where he was taking his walk. But, in a fit of spleen, induced probably by the fog we have lately breathed in England, we have resolved to construct a novel that shall be quite original in style, quite the reverse of other novels. For this reason, instead of entering upon our story at the beginning, as heretofore, we shall begin at the end, - confident that the example will be imitated, and that henceforth novels will begin only at the end. And yet another motive has led us to adopt this course of procedure: we fear lest the dryness of biographical details should repel the reader, and cause him to close the book at the end of the first leaf.
