NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Calvary: (A Novel), Translated By Louis Rich (From The Original French Le Calvaire ) This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

Autor

Octave Mirbeau, born in 1848 in France, was a novelist, playwright, and art critic whose works challenged the conventions and hypocrisies of late 19th and early 20th century society. Renowned for his sharp wit and uncompromising honesty, Mirbeau became a leading voice in French literature, particularly in the realms of psychological fiction and social critique. Mirbeaus literary career began with journalism and anonymous collaborations, but he achieved lasting fame with novels such as Calvary, which drew heavily on his own experiences of love and suffering. His most famous works, including The Torture Garden and Diary of a Chambermaid, are celebrated for their exploration of human frailty, corruption, and the darker aspects of human nature. Throughout his life, Mirbeau was a passionate defender of artists and social justice, using his platform to support avant garde movements and to critique oppressive institutions. His writing is marked by a deep sense of empathy for the marginalized and a relentless commitment to truth. Mirbeaus legacy endures as a bridge between the realism of the 19th century and the modernism of the 20th, making him a key figure in the development of French literature and psychological fiction.
