About The Book

“I am no saint; I have known many men, and I know, by experience, all the madness, all the vileness, of which they are capable. But a man like Monsieur?” — from THE DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID

The famous anarchist and art critic Octave Mirbeau (1848-1917) inspired three film versions (Jean Renoir, Bunuel and Benoit Jacquot) with his often forgotten classic THE DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID. Telling the story of Celestine R., an amoral fisherman’s daughter whose motto is live and let live (if you can survive), Mirbeau reveals that “when one tears away the veils and shows them naked, people’s souls give off such a pungent smell of decay.”

Badly subtitled by the publisher as part of “The Naughty French Novel Series,” it is not erotic fiction at all, but rather a literary accomplishment. Series editor John Baxter, the author of WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS, contributed a thoughtful introduction.
