The Necessary Evil (1899) features Dr. Armand Caresco, a
conscienceless surgeon carrying out medical experiments. Caresco
sees himself as an intellectual superman whose discoveries might
enable humankind to take a leap forward. This daring book dared to
broach such shocking topics as the methodology and occasional
necessity of hysterectomies. Andre Couvreur (1863-1944), himself a
medical doctor, depicts Caresco's surgical exploits in an explicit,
even flamboyant, fashion that harks back to the notorious Marquis
de Sade. In spite of his flagrant disapproval of Caresco's morality
and alleged madness, Couvreur remains willing to give his views
serious consideration, and to explore their potential in a manner
that refuses to write them off merely because they are tainted with
megalomaniac delusion.
