Although not autobiographical in any usual sense, Valéry's novel is profoundly personal. Monsieur Teste reflects Valéry's preoccupation with the phenomenon of a mind detached from sensibility, yet he is also an ordinary fictional character. This volume includes Snapshots of Monsieur Teste, excerpts from Valéry's Cahiers. | Collected Works of Paul Valery Volume 6 by Paul Valéry, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
