The second page of the novel contains the following annotations, which I have highlighted in bold:

“A work of fiction loosely based on real events.”

“The facts, characters, statements, and opinions are presented for artistic purposes only and do not seek to represent any reality.”

Paul Praxis (I plan to include the publisher's address)

Comments on these lines appearing on page 2 of the book:

The text of the first chapters, which began to be sent to you today and will continue to be sent to you tomorrow and in the days to come, is the intellectual property of Paul Praxis.

The two remarks in quotation marks on page 2 illustrate the work carried out over seven years:

I draw on real events for which I have conducted extensive documentary research. However, I combine historical reality with characters, events, and opinions that are the result of an artistic approach and are solely my own.

Please feel free to share your reactions to the novel with me by sending your comments by email (my email address is at the bottom of the page on the website Phsi04@zaclys.net). I would be grateful if you could be courteous, even though my work is certainly not immune to criticism. I look forward to hearing from you!
