review text: From the text: I have now been a professor of mathematics for several decades and, over the years, I have listened to many hundreds of lectures. The demands made on the listener have varied: some lectures have been conceived for specialists while others have been aimed at a broader public. I confess that I have gained little from (too) many of these lectures and have often been annoyed at the poor correlation between time spent and value received. The present article was written in the naive (and perhaps a bit egotistical) hope that this situation is amenable to improvement. To be sure, others before me have made similar attempts but, nevertheless, the topic, in my opinion, should be given a thorough airing from time to time.
