Mangeclous, a starving fake lawyer and great liar, lives with the Valeureux, dreamy Jews from Cephalonia in love with France. Their delirious adventures take them to Geneva, where they run into Solal and the League of Nations, in a comedy of dialogue and irony.

A work recommended for readers of twentieth-century French fiction and for those who appreciate satirical humor and extravagant characters.
