A novel, translated by Robert Baldick. A young man staying in a
Paris boarding house finds a hole in the wall above his bed.
Alternately voyeur and seer, he obsessively studies the private
moments and secret activities of his neighbors: childbirth, first
love, marriage, betrayal, illness and death all present themselves
to him through this spy hole. Decades ahead of its time, "Hell"
shocked and scandalized the reviewing public when first released in
English in 1866. Even so, the New Republic praised "the beauty of
the book's nervous yet fluid rhythms... The book sweeps, away
life's illusions."
