The Diary of a Chambermaid/Gamiani by Octave Mirbeau
"[John Baxter is] a man with a great appreciation of what makes Paris tick."
-- Newsday
A "flip book" featuring two classic novels of sexual exploration, translated from French by John Baxter (Immoveable Feast, We'll Always Have Paris): Octave Mirbeau's The Diary of a Chambermaid and Alfred de Musset's Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess, classic erotic tales of pleasure and excess.
Best Known as a poet in the English-speaking world, Alfred de Musset (1810-57) is regarded in his native France as perhaps the most significant dramatist of the first half of the nineteenth century. Ibsen admired his work, Turgenev imitated it, while Scribe even thought some of Musset's comedies funnier than his own. Oberon Books publishes Peter Meyer's translations of Three Farces by Feydeau, four one-act plays by the same author (as From Marriage to Divorce) and Thirteen Monologues (six by Feydeau, seven by Cocteau)
