Description
The audiobook “The Torture of Suffering” (based on the novel by French writer Octave Mirbeau; in another translation: “The Garden of Torment”) is for adult listeners who won’t be afraid to plunge into the deepest darkness of human secrets.
With his work, the classic of French literature and a member of the Goncourt Academy, Octave Mirbeau, who lived at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries, doesn’t merely tease the puritans and hypocrites. He protests against modern society that dehumanizes and distorts individuality. He criticizes the hypocrisy of European civilization, which, hiding behind a veneer of talk about kindness and humanity, provokes cruelty, deals ruthless blows to dissenters, and encourages violent death.
