Aunque fue escrito hace cerca de medio siglo, este ensayo llama la atención por su inmediata actualidad. Tras leer el manuscrito, Alain (Émile Chartier) le escribió a la autora: "Su trabajo es de la mayor importancia" y forma parte de esos pocos trabajos que abren "el futuro próximo" y preparan la "auténtica Revolución".

Ma che fare se il Destino ci convoca all'improvviso e non abbiamo il tempo di invitare il nostro Lloyd? Poco male, suggerisce Simone Tempia in questo romanzo: un maggiordomo immaginario può parlare attraverso lettere, telegrammi, telefonate.
