Description
An audiobook of the novel by a classic of French literature, a member of the Académie Goncourt, Octave Mirbeau, “The Diary of a Chambermaid” [1900], is intended for adult listeners who won’t mind watching—through a keyhole—the lives of so-called “respectable” people.
The heroine of the novel, Celestine, a townswoman who takes a job as a maid in the countryside, gives an unreserved account of her own intimate connections and the corrupt amusements of her masters—both the ones of the present and those of the past: “Ah! Yes! men… drivers, lackeys, priests, poets—they’re all the same… villains and debauchees!”
