     Quoting a quotation, from "The Club Dumas" (1993)
     by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, p.41:
                                                       CLUB_DUMAS
     ... an unopened bottle of Bols on a shelf
     between Memoirs of Saint Helena in two
     volumes and a French edition of The Red
     and the Black that he lay before him on        RED_ON_BLACK
     the table.  He tore the seal of the bottle
     and leafed casually through the Stendhal
     as he poured himself a glass of gin.

         Rousseau's Confessions was
         the only book through which his
         imagination pictured the world.
         The collection of Grande Arme'e
         reports and the Memoirs of
         Saint Helena completed his
         bible.  He would have died for
         those three books.  He never
         believed in any others.
