Amyntas n'est ni une biographie, ni une fiction, mais des notes de voyage o le vécu se mêle à l'imagination. Il s'agit de notes prises de 1896 à 1904, pendant les voyages africains et réunis dans quatre parties à la fois indépendantes et entrelacées : Mopsus, Feuilles de route, De Biskra à Touggourt et Le Renoncement au voyage.

Extrait: "Pour donner une idée exacte des mœurs contemporaines, il ne suffit pas de fréquenter les salons, ou de lire des mémoires écrits au coin d'un bon feu, sous l'inspiration d'un entourage d'ambre et de musc: il faut encore connaître la nudité sociale, et ne pas décrire un habit doré lorsqu'on se charge de représenter la nature."

Extrait : "Sept heures. Un coup de sifflet ; nous partons. Le train passe sur les plaques tournantes avec le bruit que font les orages au théâtre ; puis il s'enfonce dans la nuit, haletant, soufflant sa vapeur, éclairant de reflets rouges des murs, des haies, des bois, des champs."

He speaks of how he doomed the crew of his ship by shooting dead an albatross, awakened the wrath of ocean spirits, met Death himself, and must now walk the earth forever and share his tragic tale of sin, guilt and -- ultimately -- redemption."--

"Believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598, William Shakespeare's “The Merchant of Venice” is considered by some critics as one of his “problem plays.” The controversy over the work stems from its portrayal of the character Shylock, a rich Jewish moneylender.
