Octave Mirbeau A chambermaid's diary
a novel
The Diary of a Chambermaid was written as a satire of Parisian society in the wake of the Drey-fus Affair.

Since its publication in 1900 it has never ceased to shock and fascinate its readers and has been made into a film by Jean Renoir in 1946 and Luis Bunuel in 1964. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie
