Récréations littéraires, curiosités et singularités, bévues et lapsus, etc.

by Albert Cim

"Récréations littéraires, curiosités et singularités, bévues et lapsus, etc." by Cim is a collection published in 1920. Albert Cim compiled literary blunders and peculiarities found in the works of French novelists, poets, and playwrights. From mathematical absurdities to anatomical impossibilities and obvious statements, these "pearls" appear in both popular serial novels and the writings of celebrated authors. Cim's careful documentation reveals how even the most conscientious writers occasionally stumble into inadvertent comedy through ignorance, inattention, or lapses in taste.
