About This Book

Ceux qui s’adaptent aisément peuvent trouver une source de joie dans ce brusque changement de vie. Pour les autres, ceux qui dès leur naissance ont croupi dans l’ornière, la contrainte de cette nouvelle ambiance devient bientôt intolérable; leur corps ainsi que leur esprit s’insurgent contre un état de choses qu’ils ne peuvent comprendre. Cette révolte se manifeste par des actions et réactions qui se traduisent chez le nouveau venu par une succession de souffrances et de malheurs. Il ferait mieux alors de rebrousser chemin, car, s’il tarde trop, il succombera fatalement.
