He hears a number of other story-tellers narrating their own parables, to which he opposes his own in order to expose their ideological flaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, presented in English for the first time in a superb translation by Brian Stableford, is one of the most interesting novels of the Symbolist Movement--the elaborate fruit of author Bernard Lazare's wholehearted commitment to both Symbolist and Anarchist ideals.
