    Nice dedication from the author for Maurice Nadeau, French writer, literary critic, literary director of collections, director of journals and publisher. 

    Marc Soriano was born in Cairo in 1918. After the death of his father, his family moved to Italy. He stayed in Pisa between 1921 and 1927, then came to live in Paris. He was admitted to the École normale supérieure in 1939. He was mobilised in 1939, wounded in April 1940, and joined the Resistance in 1942. First in his class to pass the agrégation in philosophy in 1946, he then worked in Geneva with Jean Piaget. He later taught at various universities. One could speak of his eclecticism. His immense erudition, his tireless curiosity and his bushy intelligence no doubt explain why his work eludes definitions and norms. Thus Marc Soriano's thesis (Les Contes de Perrault. Culture savante et traditions populaires, 1968) was at first strongly contested before being hailed ten years later by the critics, when it was republished, as a model of research in the human sciences. To study a text as famous as it is enigmatic, Charles Perrault's Histoires, ou Contes du temps passé, Marc Soriano makes good use of history, ethnology, and psychoanalysis in a resolutely interdisciplinary approach. Why did Charles Perrault, a great clerk of the State and leader of the Moderns, undertake to adapt popular stories, nursery tales, imbued with those "superstitions" that he himself despises? Rather than a psychobiography, it is an anthropological biography that Marc Soriano offers us, shedding light on the complexity of these tales, which come from collective memory but are very secretly marked by the writer's personal equation - in particular, his gemellity. In 1972, the Dossier Charles Perrault extended the investigation, conceived in the manner of a detective novel, into the personality and itinerary of the academician. The quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns is evoked again, with corrosive irony, in La Brosse à reluire sous Louis XIV (1989).
