CINQUANTE-SIXIÈME ÉDITION

Droits de reproduction et de traduction réservés pour tous les pays.

Jean Servien naquit dans une arrière-boutique de la rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs. Son père était relieur et travaillait pour les couvents. Jean fut un petit enfant chétif que sa mère nourrissait tout en cousant les livres, feuille à feuille, avec l’aiguille courbe. Un jour qu’elle traversait la boutique en chantonnant une romance dont les paroles exprimaient pour elle la splendeur confuse des ambitions maternelles, le pied lui glissa sur le carreau humide de colle.
