Summary "Visages" by Francis Chevassu is a collection of essays likely written in the early 20th century. The work appears to explore various character studies, reflecting a diverse array of human experiences and social conditions, possibly focusing on individuals encountered in Paris. Chevassu adopts the perspective of an observer, aiming to capture the essence of people through their faces and lives, blending elements of realism with a touch of personal interpretation. The opening of "Visages" presents a preface in which the author justifies his approach to narrating character portraits as subjective impressions rather than critical analyses. He contrasts his method with more traditional critiques, explaining that he aims to depict individuals in their personal light, influenced by the surrounding societal context. Chevassu mentions his earlier work "Les Parisiens," indicating that this collection follows a similar theme but with a focus on the nuances of individual faces and their stories. The text sets the stage for an intimate journey through the lives and emotions of the characters that populate the author's Parisian observations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
