The Diary of a Chambermaid and Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess

Mirbeau, Octave and Alfred De Musset

Two complete novels, published back to back, first published in 1900 and 1833 respectively; new translations to both by John Baxter; tipped in is a signed, typed note by the translator explaining the background to this edition: earlier translations, cuts, errors, omissions and the publisher's 'Naughty French Novels' series, 'What pleasure ... it seemed to me I was melting.'
