Предисловие к новелле Сердце моё. Может вы удивитесь, но эта новелла об Испании, более точно об Андалусии, а ещё точнее о Коста дель Соль. Хотя я её назвала Сердце моё, потому что моё сердце многие годы уже здесь с этим народом. Я плачу с ними под слово курасон и смеюсь от загребающей тебя внезапно волны на этом берегу.

No one has commanded more universal comment and attention than the mystic who was known by the name of the Comte de St. Germain. A hero of romance, a charlatan, a swindler, and an adventurer; rich and varied were the names that showered freely upon him. Hated by the many, loved and reverenced by the few, time has not yet lifted the veil that screened his true mission from the vulgar speculators of the period. Then, as now, the occultist was dubbed charlatan by the ignorant; only some men and women here and there realized the power with which he stood possessed.
