Octave Mirbeau, author of the classic satires 'The Torture Garden'
and 'Diary of a Chambermaid' (the latter made into films by both
Jean Renoir and Luis Bunuel), wrote this scathing novel on the cusp
of the twentieth century. Driven mad by modern life, Georges
Vasseur heads off for a rest cure. At a spa town, though, he
encounters precisely those things he has been trying to escape:
corrupt politicians, amnesiac coquettes, cheerfully sadistic
killers, imperialist generals, and quack psychiatrists. Hypocrites
are eternal, and not much has changed since Mirbeau wrote this acid
portrait of his era."
