Dans ces Contes de Caliban, Émile Bergerat assemble une guirlande d’histoires brèves où l’humour fait bon ménage avec la réflexion. Écrits au tournant du XXe siècle, ces récits jouent de l’ironie, de la fantaisie et d’un sens aigu de l’observation pour éclairer nos manies, nos illusions et nos petites vérités. On y goûte une prose vive, capricieuse et élégante, qui surprend, pique et charme sans jamais s’appesantir.

Dans ces contes piquants et irrévérencieux, Armand Silvestre s’amuse à bousculer les convenances: il interroge les usages, nargue les habitudes bien-pensantes et met en lumière les contradictions des mœurs et des traditions. D’une plume vive, ironique et élégante, il multiplie les portraits incisifs, les situations décalées et les retournements malicieux, pour une satire aussi légère qu’acérée.
