About this book

Flat on my back for many months now, struggling against both illness and doctors, and waiting with resignation for the day when, in accordance with the plans of Divine Providence, you will have to close my eyes, dear children, I have thought to write down the not uncommon events of my life, so that you will beware of and guard against the many perils that may befall and even harm a man in the course of his days.
