Preface

Today’s logic students want to see the relevance of logic to their lives. ’They need
motivation to read a logic textbook and do the exercises. Logic and critical thinking
instructors want their students to read the textbook and to practice the skills being
taught. ’They want their students to come away with the ability to recognize and evalu-
ate arguments, an understanding of formal and informal logic, and a lasting sense
of why they matter.τhese concerns meet head-on in the classroom. 卫1is textbook is
designed to help alleviate these concerns.

THE CONTINUING STORY


τhe focus of the fourth edition has been on fine-tuning an already student-friendly
and comprehensive introduction to logic book. To that effect, several passages have
been reworked with an eye toward more clarity and precision. 卫1e goal has been to
define, explain, and illustrate those key logical concepts that require an in-depth
understanding based on the many possible applications of those concepts.τhe idea
is to provide as much information as possible regarding key concepts so students are
well equipped to tackle the exercise sets.
τhe driving force behind writing the fourth edition has been the continuing effort
to make logic relevant, interesting, and accessible to today’s students, without sac-
rificing the coverage that instructors demand and expect. An introduction to logic is
o丘en a student ’s only exposure to rigorous thinking and symbolism. It should pre-
pare them for reasoning in their lives and careers. It must balance careful coverage of
abstract reasoning with clear, accessible explanations and vivid everyday examples.
τhis book was written to meet all those challenges. Relevant examples provide a
bridge between formal reasoning and practical applications of logic, thereby con-
necting logic to students' lives and future careers. Each chapter opens with a dis-
cussion of an everyday example, 。丘en taken directly from contemporary events, to
pose the problem and set the narrative tone. ’This provides an immediate connection
between logic and real-world issues, motivating the need for logic as a tool to help with
the deluge of information available today.
τhe challenge of any introduction to logic textbook is to connect logic to students'
lives. Yet existing texts can and should do more to reinforce and improve the basic
skills of reasoning we all rely on in daily life. Relevant, real-life examples are essential
to making logic accessible to students, especially when they mesh seamlessly with the
technical material. To accomplish this, quotes and passages from modern and classic
sources illustrate the relevance of logic through some of the perennial problems that
impact everyone ’s lives. Examples concerning the workplace, careers, sports, poli-
tics, movies, music, TV, novels, new inventions, gadgets, cell phones, transportation,

XVI PREFACE

newspapers, magazines, computers, speeches, science, religion, superstition, gam-


bling, drugs, W问 abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, the role of government,
taxes, military spending, and unemployment are used to show how arguments, and
thus the role of logic, can be found in nearly every aspect of life. The examples were
chosen to be interesting, thought-provoking, and relevant to students, and the writing
style was cra丘ed to engage students by connecting logic to their lives.

AN INCLUSIVE TEXT
咀1e fourteen chapters are designed to provide a comprehensive logic textbook, but
also one that can be tailored to individual courses and their needs.τhe result is a full
five chapters on deductive logic, but also a uniquely applied five-chapter part on induc-
tive logic. Here separate chapters on analogical arguments, legal arguments, moral
arguments, statistical arguments, and scientific arguments allow students to apply the
logical skills learned in the earlier parts of the book. As with previous editions, expla-
nations and examples have been created to facilitate student comprehension, and to
show students that the logical skills they are learning do in fact have practical, real-
world application. 卫1e material also provides more resources to help students when
they do the exercise sets.
Since each chapter has been developed to provide maximum flexibility to instruc-
tors, some sections can be skipped in lecture without loss of continuity. In addition,
those wishing for a briefer text can choose a text tailored to their course. They may
choose to emphasize or omit certain chapters on formal logic or critical reasoning,
and they may choose a selection of the five applied chapters to reflect their and their
students' interests.

NEW TO THE FOURTH EDITION


Since student response to previous editions has been very positive, careful attention
has been given to retain the style of presentation and the voice of the previous edi-
tions. Every change is designed to preserve the delicate balance of rigor with the text's
overriding goal of relevance, accessibility, and student interest.
General changes : τhere are many new or modified exercises intended to keep
students focused on applying the logical principles in each section.τhe overriding
goal has always been to provide exercises that are challenging, interesting, thought-
provoking, and relevant.
Chapter 1: Four new illustrations were added: First, in section lF, a new table and
accompanying explanation illustrates the various connections between premises, con-
clusions, validity, and soundness in deductive arguments.τhe second and third new
illustrations and accompanying explanations flesh out the various connections between
premises, conclusions, strength, and cogency in inductive arguments in section lG.
咀1e fourth new illustration, in section lH, offers an end-of-chapter summary regarding
statements and arguments. A discussion of the difference between what is stated and
what is implied by statements in everyday conversation has been added to section lA.
XVIII PRE FACE

In section IE, the definitions of deductive and inductive arguments now incorporate
the role of the inferential claim. In section lG, the definitions of strong and weakinduc-
tive arguments empha归e the probable truth of the conclusion following卢om the truth
of the premises.τhis emphasis leads to the discussion of an inductive argument in which
premises that are irrelevant to the conclusion fail to provide any probabilistic support
for the conclusion, resulting in a weak argume瓜 Finally, the "principle of charity" dis-
cussion has been expanded to stress its role in the search for truth.
Chapter 2: Two new reference boxes were added to help students with exercise sets
2C and 2D. Several new examples have been added to the discussion of operational
definitions. The discussions ofνaluε dgments, cognitive 附aning, and emoti阳neaning
have been reworked to offer more clarity.
Chapter 3: Additional explanation and examples of dependent premises, indepen-
dent premises, and diagramming techniques associated with extended arguments are
provided. Anew key term has been added: A simple diagram consists of a single prem-
ise and a single conclusion. Finally, several new exercises have been added.
Chapter 4: Several definitions of key terms have been revised. 咀1e revisions bring
out additional aspects of the concepts involved, thereby making it easier for students
to apply the definitions to the exercise sets. The revised terms include informal f alla-
cie马 tu quoque, appeal to the people, and rigid application of a generalization.
Chapter 5: The terms “ distr也uted" and “ undistributed" have been clarified for cat-
egorical statements. A new set of exercises has been added to Exercises SE to give
students more practice in analyzing immediate inferences under the modern inter-
pretation. The discussion of existential import in SC has been modified to clarify
its use in both the modern and traditional interpretations of universal propositions.
Also, the discussion of the traditional square of opposition in SF has been rewritten
to clarify the understanding and application of existential import and the “ ass ump-
tion of existence" for universal propositions. A new set of exercises has been added to
Exercises SF to give students more practice in analyzing immediate inferences under
the traditional interpretation.τhe directions for Exercise set SG have been rewritten
to offer more guidance to students.
Chapter 7:咀1e concept of a well-formed formula has been reworked to offer more
clarity and precision for students, and to help with the related exercises.τhe discus-
sions of inclusive di矿unction and exclusive di矿unction have been clarified. Several exer-
cises in 7A have been moved to a later exercise set where students have additional
information to apply to the exercises.τhe concept of a truth-functional proposition has
been clari且ed. 卫1e concept of negation has been expanded.τhe concept of a tautology
has been revised. 卫1e question of whether or not a set of statements is consistent has
been expanded to reveal its practical applications.
Chapter 8: A new discussion illustrates how natural deduction proofs allow for cre-
ativity by showing how more than one correct proof is possible for a given problem.
τhis is coupled with examples of questions that naturally arise when students start
creating their own proofs. 咀1e discussion of misapplications of distr访ution has been
expanded along with new examples.
PREFACE XIX

Chapte主 9: The discussions of universal geneγalization and eχistential generaliza-


tion have been expanded and clarified by the addition of new examples.τhe change
of quar叫卢er section now has additional examples to help facilitate understanding
the four logical equivalences. 咀1e identity rules have been modified to include special
symbols that are more in line with the way the inference rules for predicate logic are
presented. Additional examples further illustrate each identity rule.
Chapter 12: Additional discussion of the role that logic plays in moral reasoning is
presented, especially in the analysis, evaluation, and construction ofmoral arguments.
τhree new Profiles in Logic have been added: Rudolf Carnap in Chapter 2; Francis
Bacon in Chapter 4; and G. E. Moore in Chapter 12.
New Appendix: Many instructors have asked for material that directly applies the
logical skills introduced in the book to the Law School Adm臼sion Test (LSAT). In a
new appendix to the book, LSAT-type questions are presented and analyzed by ref-
erence to specific logical reasoning techniques that occur in Logic. This new section
offers an in-depth look at the skills and techniques needed to do well on the LSAT
logical reasoning questions. By working through the study guide, students can readily
see that what they learn in Logic has direct application to the LSAT.
New Interactive eBook within Dashboard: An interactive eBook now appears
within Dashboard, our online homework platform. Marginal icons in the text alert stu-
dents to related exercises, video tutorials, and other study materials within Dashboard.

SPECIAL FEATURES
τhe features that instructors found most useful in the third edition have been retained:

• Each chapter opens with a preview, beginning with real-life examples and out-
lining the questions to be addressed. It thus serves both as motivation and over-
view, and wherever possible it explicitly bridges both formal and informal logic
to real life. For example, Chapter 1 starts with the deluge of information facing
students today, to show the very need for a course in logic or critical thinking.
• Marginal definitions of key terms are provided for quick reference. l(ey terms
appear in boldface when they are first introduced.

A Kairouan, que je ne connaissais pas encore, et où j’allai sans
Marceline, la nuit était très belle. Au moment de rentrer dormir à
l’hôtel, je me souvins d’un groupe d’Arabes couchés en plein air sur
les nattes d’un petit café. Je m’en fus dormir tout contre eux. Je
revins couvert de vermine.

La chaleur moite de la côte affaiblissant beaucoup Marceline, je


lui persuadai que ce qu’il nous fallait, c’était gagner Biskra au plus
vite. Nous étions au début d’avril.
Ce voyage est très long. Le premier jour, nous gagnons d’une
traite Constantine ; le second jour, Marceline est très lasse et nous
n’allons que jusqu’à El Kantara. Là nous avons cherché et nous
avons trouvé vers le soir une ombre plus délicieuse et plus fraîche
que la clarté de la lune, la nuit. Elle était comme un breuvage
intarissable ; elle ruisselait jusqu’à nous. Et du talus où nous étions
assis, on voyait la plaine embrasée. Cette nuit, Marceline ne peut
dormir ; l’étrangeté du silence et des moindres bruits l’inquiète. Je
crains qu’elle n’ait un peu de fièvre. Je l’entends se remuer sur son
lit. Le lendemain, je la trouve plus pâle. Nous repartons.
Biskra. C’est donc là que je veux en venir. Oui ; voici le jardin
public ; le banc… je reconnais le banc où je m’assis aux premiers
jours de ma convalescence. Qu’y lisais-je donc ?… Homère ; depuis
je ne l’ai pas rouvert. — Voici l’arbre dont j’allai palper l’écorce. Que
j’étais faible, alors !… Tiens ! voici des enfants… Non, je n’en
reconnais aucun. Que Marceline est grave ! Elle est aussi changée
que moi. Pourquoi tousse-t-elle, par ce beau temps ? — Voici l’hôtel.
Voici nos chambres ; nos terrasses. — Que pense Marceline ? Elle
ne m’a pas dit un mot. — Sitôt arrivée dans sa chambre, elle s’étend
sur le lit ; elle est lasse et dit vouloir dormir un peu. Je sors.
Je ne reconnais pas les enfants, mais les enfants me
reconnaissent. Prévenus de mon arrivée, tous accourent. Est-il
possible que ce soient eux ? Quelle déconvenue ! Que s’est-il donc
passé ? Ils ont affreusement grandi… En à peine un peu plus de
deux ans — cela n’est pas possible… quelles fatigues, quels vices,
quelles paresses, ont déjà mis tant de laideur sur ces visages, où
tant de jeunesse éclatait ? Quels travaux vils ont déjeté si tôt ces
beaux corps ? Il y a là comme une banqueroute… Je questionne.
Bachir est garçon plongeur d’un café ; Ashour gagne à grand’peine
quelques sous à casser les cailloux des routes ; Hammatar a perdu
un œil. Qui l’eût cru : Sadeck s’est rangé ; il aide un frère aîné à
vendre des pains au marché ; il semble devenu stupide. Agib s’est
établi boucher près de son père ; il engraisse ; il est laid ; il est riche ;
il ne veut plus parler à ses compagnons déclassés… Que les
carrières honorables abêtissent ! Vais-je donc retrouver chez eux ce
que je haïssais parmi nous ? — Boubaker ? — Il s’est marié. Il n’a
pas quinze ans. C’est grotesque. — Non, pourtant ; je l’ai revu le
soir. Il s’explique : son mariage n’est qu’une frime. C’est, je crois, un
sacré débauché ! Mais il boit ; se déforme… Et voilà donc tout ce qui
reste ? Voilà donc ce qu’en fait la vie ! — Je sens à mon intolérable
tristesse que c’était beaucoup eux que je venais revoir. — Ménalque
avait raison : le souvenir est une invention de malheur.
Et Moktir ? — Ah ! celui-là sort de prison. Il se cache. Les autres
ne fraient plus avec lui. Je voudrais le revoir. Il était le plus beau
d’eux tous ; va-t-il me décevoir aussi ?… On le retrouve. On me
l’amène. — Non ! celui-là n’a pas failli. Même mon souvenir ne me le
représentait pas si superbe. Sa force et sa beauté sont parfaites. En
me reconnaissant, il sourit.
— Et que faisais-tu donc avant d’être en prison ?
— Rien.
— Tu volais ?
Il proteste.
— Que fais-tu maintenant ?
Il sourit.
— Eh ! Moktir ! si tu n’as rien à faire, tu nous accompagneras à
Touggourt. — Et je suis pris soudain du désir d’aller à Touggourt.
Marceline ne va pas bien ; je ne sais pas ce qui se passe en elle.
Quand je rentre à l’hôtel ce soir-là, elle se presse contre moi sans
rien dire, les yeux fermés. Sa manche large, qui se relève, laisse voir
son bras amaigri. Je la caresse, et la berce longtemps, comme un
enfant que l’on veut endormir. Est-ce l’amour, ou l’angoisse, ou la
fièvre qui la fait trembler ainsi ?… Ah ! peut-être il serait temps
encore… Est-ce que je ne m’arrêterai pas ? — J’ai cherché, j’ai
trouvé ce qui fait ma valeur : une espèce d’entêtement dans le pire.
— Mais comment arrivé-je à dire à Marceline que demain nous
partons pour Touggourt ?…
A présent, elle dort dans la chambre voisine. La lune, depuis
longtemps levée, inonde à présent la terrasse. C’est une clarté
presque effrayante. On ne peut pas s’en cacher. Ma chambre a des
dalles blanches, et là surtout elle paraît. Son flot entre par la fenêtre
grande ouverte. Je reconnais sa clarté dans la chambre et l’ombre
qu’y dessine la porte. Il y a deux ans elle entrait plus avant encore…
oui, là précisément où elle avance maintenant — quand je me suis
levé renonçant à dormir. J’appuyais mon épaule contre le montant
de cette porte-là. Je reconnais l’immobilité des palmiers… Quelle
parole avais-je donc lue ce soir-là ?… Ah ! oui ; les mots du Christ à
Pierre : « Maintenant tu te ceins toi-même, et tu vas où tu veux
aller… » Où vais-je ? Où veux-je aller ?… Je ne vous ai pas dit que,
de Naples, cette dernière fois, j’avais gagné Pœstum, un jour, seul…
Ah ! j’aurais sangloté devant ces pierres ! L’ancienne beauté
paraissait, simple, parfaite, souriante — abandonnée. L’art s’en va
de moi, je le sens. C’est pour faire place à quoi d’autre ? Ce n’est
plus, comme avant, une souriante harmonie… Je ne sais plus, à
présent, le dieu ténébreux que je sers. O Dieu neuf ! donnez-moi de
connaître encore des races nouvelles, des types imprévus de
beauté.
Le lendemain, dès l’aube, la diligence nous emmène. Moktir est
avec nous. Moktir est heureux comme un roi.

Chegga ; Kefeldorh’; M’reyer… mornes étapes sur la route plus


morne encore, interminable. J’aurais cru pourtant, je l’avoue, plus
riantes ces oasis. Mais plus rien que la pierre et le sable ; puis
quelques buissons nains, bizarrement fleuris ; parfois quelque essai
de palmiers qu’alimente une source cachée… A l’oasis je préfère à
présent le désert — ce pays de mortelle gloire et d’intolérable
splendeur. L’effort de l’homme y paraît laid et misérable. Maintenant
toute autre terre m’ennuie.
— Vous aimez l’inhumain, dit Marceline. Mais comme elle
regarde elle-même ! et avec quelle avidité !
Le temps se gâte un peu, le second jour ; c’est-à-dire que le vent
s’élève et que l’horizon se ternit. Marceline souffre ; le sable qu’on
respire brûle, irrite sa gorge : la surabondante lumière fatigue son
regard ; ce paysage hostile la meurtrit. Mais à présent il est trop tard
pour revenir. Dans quelques heures, nous serons à Touggourt.
C’est de cette dernière partie du voyage, pourtant si proche
encore, que je me souviens le moins bien. Impossible, à présent, de
revoir les paysages du second jour et ce que je fis d’abord à
Touggourt. Mais ce dont je me souviens encore, c’est quelles étaient
mon impatience et ma précipitation.
Il avait fait très froid le matin. Vers le soir, un simoun ardent
s’élève. Marceline, exténuée par le voyage, s’est couchée sitôt
arrivée. J’espérais trouver un hôtel un peu plus confortable ; notre
chambre est affreuse ; le sable, le soleil et les mouches ont tout
terni, tout sali, défraîchi. N’ayant presque rien mangé depuis
l’aurore, je fais servir aussitôt le repas ; mais tout paraît mauvais à
Marceline et je ne peux la décider à rien prendre. Nous avons
emporté de quoi faire du thé. Je m’occupe à ces soins dérisoires.
Nous nous contentons, pour dîner, de quelques gâteaux secs et de
ce thé, auquel l’eau salée du pays a donné son goût détestable.
Par un dernier semblant de vertu, je reste jusqu’au soir auprès
d’elle. Et soudain je me sens comme à bout de forces moi-même. O
goût de cendres ! O lassitude ! Tristesse du surhumain effort ! J’ose à
peine la regarder ; je sais trop que mes yeux, au lieu de chercher
son regard, iront affreusement se fixer sur les trous noirs de ses
narines ; l’expression de son visage souffrant est atroce. Elle non
plus ne me regarde pas. Je sens, comme si je la touchais, son
angoisse. Elle tousse beaucoup ; puis s’endort. Par moments, un
frisson brusque la secoue.
La nuit pourrait être mauvaise et, avant qu’il ne soit trop tard, je
veux savoir à qui je pourrais m’adresser. Je sors. Devant la porte de
l’hôtel, la place de Touggourt, les rues, l’atmosphère même est
étrange au point de me faire croire que ce n’est pas moi qui les vois.
Après quelques instants je rentre. Marceline dort tranquillement. Je
m’effrayais à tort ; sur cette terre bizarre, on suppose un péril
partout ; c’est absurde. Et, suffisamment rassuré, je ressors.
Étrange animation nocturne sur la place ; circulation silencieuse ;
glissement clandestin des burnous blancs. Le vent déchire par
instants des lambeaux de musique étrange et les apporte je ne sais
d’où. Quelqu’un vient à moi… C’est Moktir. Il m’attendait, dit-il, et
pensait bien que je ressortirais. Il rit. Il connaît bien Touggourt, y
vient souvent et sait où il m’emmène. Je me laisse entraîner par lui.
Nous marchons dans la nuit ; nous entrons dans un café maure ;
c’est de là que venait la musique. Des femmes arabes y dansent —
si l’on peut appeler une danse ce monotone glissement. — Une
d’elles me prend par la main ; je la suis ; c’est la maîtresse de
Moktir ; il accompagne. Nous entrons tous les trois dans l’étroite et
profonde chambre où l’unique meuble est un lit ; un lit très bas, sur
lequel on s’assied. Un lapin blanc, enfermé dans la chambre,
s’effarouche d’abord, puis s’apprivoise et vient manger dans la main
de Moktir. On nous apporte du café. Puis, tandis que Moktir joue
avec le lapin, cette femme m’attire à elle, et je me laisse aller à elle
comme on s’abandonne au sommeil.
Ah ! je pourrais ici feindre ou me taire ; mais que m’importe à moi
ce récit, s’il cesse d’être véritable ?
Je retourne seul à l’hôtel, Moktir restant là-bas pour la nuit. Il est
tard. Il souffle un sirocco aride ; c’est un vent tout chargé de sable, et
torride malgré la nuit ; un vent de fièvre qui aveugle et fauche les
jarrets ; mais j’ai soudain trop hâte de rentrer, et c’est presque en
courant que je reviens. Elle s’est réveillée peut-être ; peut-être a-t-
elle besoin de moi ?… Non ; la croisée de la chambre est sombre ;
elle dort. J’attends un court répit du vent pour ouvrir ; j’entre très
doucement dans le noir. — Quel est ce bruit ?… Je ne reconnais pas
sa toux… Est-ce bien elle ?… J’allume…
Marceline est assise à moitié sur son lit ; un de ses maigres bras
se cramponne aux barreaux du lit, la tient dressée ; ses draps, ses
mains, sa chemise, sont inondés d’un flot de sang ; son visage en
est tout sali ; ses yeux sont hideusement agrandis ; et n’importe quel
cri d’agonie m’épouvanterait moins que son silence. Je cherche sur
son visage transpirant une petite place où poser un affreux baiser ; le
goût de sa sueur me reste aux lèvres. Je lave et rafraîchis son front,
ses joues. Contre le lit, quelque chose de dur sous mon pied : je me
baisse, et ramasse le petit chapelet qu’elle réclamait naguère à
Paris, et qu’elle a laissé tomber ; je le passe à sa main ouverte, mais
sa main aussitôt s’abaisse et le laisse tomber de nouveau. Je ne
sais que faire ; je voudrais demander du secours… Sa main
s’accroche à moi désespérément, me retient ; ah ! croit-elle donc que
je veux la quitter ? Elle me dit :
— Oh ! tu peux bien attendre encore. Elle voit que je veux parler :
— Ne me dis rien, ajoute-t-elle ; tout va bien. — De nouveau je
ramasse le chapelet ; je le lui remets dans la main, mais de nouveau
elle le laisse — que dis-je ? elle le fait tomber. Je m’agenouille
auprès d’elle et presse sa main contre moi.
Elle se laisse aller, moitié contre le traversin et moitié contre mon
épaule, semble dormir un peu, mais ses yeux restent grands
ouverts.
Une heure après, elle se redresse ; sa main se dégage des
miennes, se crispe à sa chemise et en déchire la dentelle. Elle
étouffe. — Vers le petit matin, un nouveau vomissement de sang…

J’ai fini de vous raconter mon histoire. Qu’ajouterais-je de plus ?


— Le cimetière français de Touggourt est hideux, à moitié dévoré
par les sables… Le peu de volonté qui me restait, je l’ai tout employé
à l’arracher de ces lieux de détresse. C’est à El Kantara qu’elle
repose, dans l’ombre d’un jardin privé qu’elle aimait. Il y a de tout
cela trois mois à peine. Ces trois mois ont éloigné cela de dix ans.
Michel resta longtemps silencieux. Nous nous taisions aussi, pris
chacun d’un étrange malaise. Il nous semblait, hélas ! qu’à nous la
raconter, Michel avait rendu son action plus légitime. De ne savoir où
la désapprouver, dans la lente explication qu’il en donna, nous en
faisait presque complices. Nous y étions comme engagés. Il avait
achevé ce récit sans un tremblement dans la voix, sans qu’une
inflexion ni qu’un geste témoignât qu’une émotion quelconque le
troublât, soit qu’il mît un cynique orgueil à ne pas nous paraître ému,
soit qu’il craignît, par une sorte de pudeur, de provoquer notre
émotion par ses larmes, soit enfin qu’il ne fût pas ému. Je ne
distingue pas en lui, même à présent, la part d’orgueil, de force, de
sécheresse ou de pudeur. — Au bout d’un instant, il reprit :
Ce qui m’effraie, c’est, je l’avoue, que je suis encore très jeune. Il
me semble parfois que ma vraie vie n’a pas encore commencé.
Arrachez-moi d’ici à présent, et donnez-moi des raisons d’être. Moi,
je ne sais plus en trouver. Je me suis délivré, c’est possible ; mais
qu’importe ? je souffre de cette liberté sans emploi. Ce n’est pas,
croyez-moi, que je sois fatigué de mon crime, s’il vous plaît de
l’appeler ainsi ; mais je dois me prouver à moi-même que je n’ai pas
outrepassé mon droit.
J’avais, quand vous m’avez connu d’abord, une grande fixité de
pensée, et je sais que c’est là ce qui fait les vrais hommes ; je ne l’ai
plus. Mais ce climat, je crois, en est cause. Rien ne décourage
autant la pensée que cette persistance de l’azur. Ici toute recherche
est impossible, tant la volupté suit de près le désir. Entouré de
splendeur et de mort, je sens le bonheur trop présent et l’abandon à
lui trop uniforme. Je me couche au milieu du jour pour tromper la
longueur morne des journées et leur insupportable loisir. J’ai là,
voyez, des cailloux blancs que je laisse tremper à l’ombre, puis que
je tiens longtemps dans le creux de ma main, jusqu’à ce qu’en soit
épuisée la calmante fraîcheur acquise. Alors je recommence,
alternant les cailloux, remettant à tremper ceux dont la fraîcheur est
tarie. Du temps s’y passe, et vient le soir… Arrachez-moi d’ici ; je ne
puis le faire moi-même. Quelque chose en ma volonté s’est brisé ; je
ne sais même où j’ai trouvé la force de m’éloigner d’El Kantara.
Parfois j’ai peur que ce que j’ai supprimé ne se venge. Je voudrais
recommencer à neuf. Je voudrais me débarrasser de ce qui reste de
ma fortune ; voyez, ces murs en sont encore couverts. Ici je vis de
presque rien. Un aubergiste mi-français m’apprête un peu de
nourriture. L’enfant, que vous avez fait fuir en entrant, me l’apporte
soir et matin, en échange de quelques sous et de caresses. Cet
enfant qui, devant les étrangers, se fait sauvage, est avec moi
tendre et fidèle comme un chien. Sa sœur est une Ouled-Naïl qui,
chaque hiver, regagne Constantine où elle vend son corps aux
passants. Elle est très belle et je souffrais, les premières semaines,
que parfois elle passât la nuit près de moi. Mais, un matin, son frère,
le petit Ali, nous a surpris couchés ensemble. Il s’est montré fort irrité
et n’a pas voulu revenir de cinq jours. Pourtant il n’ignore pas
comment ni de quoi vit sa sœur ; il en parlait auparavant d’un ton qui
n’indiquait aucune gêne. Est-ce donc qu’il était jaloux ? — Du reste,
ce farceur en est arrivé à ses fins ; car, moitié par ennui, moitié par
peur de perdre Ali, depuis cette aventure je n’ai plus retenu cette
fille. Elle ne s’en est pas fâchée ; mais chaque fois que je la
rencontre, elle rit et plaisante de ce que je lui préfère l’enfant. Elle
prétend que c’est lui qui surtout me retient ici. Peut-être a-t-elle un
peu raison…

and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating

be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,

that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
