French translation, by G. Jean-Aubry, of George Moore's Memoirs of My Dead Life. It gathers fourteen autobiographical and evocative pieces —«Printemps à Londres», «Une servante», «La fin de Marie Pellegrin», «Les Amants d'Orelay», «Dimanche soir à Londres», «Resurgam», among others—, between recollection, meditation and the depiction of London and Paris settings. It opens with the translator's dedication to Moore himself.
