We each have our own secret, which we initially keep a mystery to ourselves.

We understand absolutely nothing about modern civilization if we do not first admit that it is a universal conspiracy against all forms of inner life. France Against the Robots (1946). Georges Bernanos

Emmanuel L. Di Rossetti was a journalist for many years. He served as an officer in the French Army's 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment. He also worked in the luxury goods industry. He is now a small business owner. This travelogue is the fruit of his reflections on journalism, literature, and the Catholic religion, among other things. It is placed under the benevolent and insightful authority of Georges Bernanos and his essay "France Against the Robots.".
