The Torture Garden (The New Traveller's Companion Series)
Octave Mirbeau

Olympia Press, 2005

duality
This is one of the few books I've read which continually resurface in my consciousness. To say that this is a book of depravity, lust, and horror is to miss the point. It is such a book, but it is also a commentary on the natural evolution of social order and the ...
  
  











  



  
Celestine: The Diary Of An English Chambermaid
Octave Mirbeau

Olympia Press, 2008

Mirbeau's elegant satire of French society in the wake of the Dreyfus affair.

The Diary of a Chambermaid (Naughty French Novel)
Octave Mirbeau

Harper Perennial, 2007

The best novel I have ever read
The fact that the publisher is trying to sell this book as a salacious novel says more about the publisher than the book. Mirbeau was a social critic and a disciple of Tolstoy, not the pervert that the publisher would have you believe. He believed that modern ...

Perverted Priest

En el cielo
Octave Mirbeau

Ediciones Barataria, 2007

Enveloped in a sense of surrealism and showing a complete disregard for conventional rules of composition, this novel portrays the tragedy of the artist through Lucien—a painter who is fascinated with the works of van Gogh. Expressing a pre-existentialist idea of the human condition, humanity appears lost between two infinite extremes in a ...
