- Moussa était l’unique enfant d’un arbab turc du bout de notre rue, un jeunot cordial et désœuvré qui passait son temps à chasser, peindre des miniatures, et relire indéfiniment en traduction persane Les Misérables qui l’enflammaient de chimères héroïques et de passions égalitaires.
- — Mussa was the only son of a Turkish arbab who lived at the end of our street, a likeable, idle young fellow who spent is time hunting, painting miniatures, and endlessly re-reading Les Misérables in a Persian translation, which inflamed him with delusions of heroism and egalitarian passions.
