Twenty-one days of a neurasthenic

Octave Mirbeau

Original title: Les 21 jours d'un neurasthénique

earliest edition we have, 1977 Dtv, 2002 paperback

10/18 [i.e. Dix/dix-huit] ; 1137

Driven mad by modern life, Georges Vasseur leaves for a rest cure, where he encounters 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.
