Laurent Vogel (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/Canadian Libraries) "Paraboles et diversions" by Pierre Mille is a collection of literary fables written in the early 20th century. The work explores various timeless themes through creative narratives that touch on philosophical reflections and critiques of human nature, often invoking biblical allusions and allegorical figures. The opening of the volume presents a satirical take on the biblical story of Creation, focusing on the character of Satan, who invents literary and artistic criticism as a means to curb God's creative power. Surprisingly, rather than succumbing to despair, God continues to create various elements of the world, prompting an increasingly frustrated Satan who continually remarks on the supposed "progress" in God's work. This whimsical narrative not only introduces a unique perspective on a familiar biblical tale but also sets a tone of playful irony that suggests a deeper commentary on human pride and the nature of criticism itself.
