Tavares Bastos, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d., in French. Tavares-Bastos responds to a researcher's questionnaire entitled Enquete Mondiale ('World Enquiry') with their questions at the head of the page, '1. Were your literary beginnings happy or difficult? 2. Did a means of existence (a second profession or personal wealth) allow you to exist as a Man of Letters, or was it just income from your pen? 3. What book made you most famous? Which do you consider your masterpiece?' Tavares-Bastos provides his answers to the first two questions immediately beneath, explaining that his literary beginnings were difficult due to bad teachers and that he owes everything to his self-education, and further adding that unfortunately he had no personal fortune and that more than ever now literature does not generate enough income to feed a man.
