Description (in English): 

This work is a good illustration of the notion of "computer-assisted literature" («littérature assistée par ordinateur»). Jean Baudot realized a combinatorial program, then gathered the generated texts in a book (La machine à écrire). In these examples, the computer was used to prolong previous literary approaches. In this experimental period, the output remained the printed or recited text.
