Edison, a dcouvert, depuis une quinzaine d'annes, une quantit de choses aussi tranges qu'ingnieuses;--entre autres le Tlphone, le Phonographe, le Microphone--et ces admirables lampes lectriques rpandues sur la surface du globe;--sans parler d'une centaine d'autres merveilles. En Amrique et en Europe une LGENDE s'est donc veille, dans l'imagination de la foule, autour de ce grand citoyen des tats-Unis. C'est qui le dsignera sous de fantastiques surnoms--tels que le MAGICIEN DU SICLE, le SORCIER DE MENLO PARK, le PAPA DU PHONOGRAPHE, etc., etc. L'enthousiasme--des plus naturels--en son pays et ailleurs, lui a confr une sorte d'apanage mystrieux, ou tout comme, en maints esprits. Ds lors, le PERSONNAGE de cette lgende,--mme du vivant de l'homme qui a su l'inspirer,--n'appartient-il pas la littrature humaine?--En d'autres termes, si le docteur Johannes Faust, se trouvant contemporain de Wolfgang Goethe, et donn lieu sa symbolique lgende, le Faust n'et-il pas t, quand mme, licite? Il est, ainsi, bien tabli que j'interprte une lgende moderne au mieux de l'oeuvre d'Art-mtaphysique dont j'ai conu l'ide, qu'en un mot le hros de ce livre est, avant tout, le Sorcier de Menlo Park, etc.,--et non M. l'ingnieur Edison, notre contemporain. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
