Summary:

While many famous writers Balzac, Proust, Oscar Wilde are buried at Pariss Pre Lachaise Cemetery, there are also writers, many more of them in fact, buried there who have been completely forgotten, not necessarily because they were not good but because cultural memory is necessarily limited.In eight chapters, the inimitable Anthony Daniels dilates on some forgotten writers of Pre Lachaise, exploring their literary merit and the amusing byways of history, aiming to entertain while illustrating the inexhaustible depth of our past.
