Ce récit de vie d’un mécène parisien du XIXème siècle jumèle l’histoire, l’internationalisme, la religion, l’occultisme, l’intertextualité, la philanthropie, de l’art, l’opulence, l’ivraie, la vie des gens ordinaires ainsi que celle de gens extraordinaires. Pourtant, c’est l’histoire incontestable d’une vie menée par, Joséphine Mellen Ayer, l’une des figures emblématiques de l’abolitionnisme de l’esclavage qu’entamèrent les premiers Quakers au 17ème siècle sous l’égide de George Fox. Il s’agit là d’une ferveur fondée sur une rigoureuse éthique qu’au fils des siècles ni les bouleversements ni les changements de comportements et de mentalités n’ont pu évincer. Ce texte quaker porte non seulement de valeurs historico-litéraires mais socio-culturelle ainsi quepolitico-économiques. Il s’agit d’un texte à consommer sans modération.Bill F Ndi, traducteur-traductologue, poète, dramaturge, conteur, critique littéraire, et enseignant-chercheur est issue de British Southern Cameroons où il a été éduqué ainsi qu’au Cameroun, au Nigéria et en France où il obtint ses doctorats ès Langues, Littératures et Civilisations Contemporaines : Traduction à l’UCP. Il a enseigné dans plusieurs universités. Présentement, il professeur des Universités américaines à Tuskegee University dans l’Alabama.
