In The Diary of a Chambermaid, Octave Mirbeau paints a lucid and acerbic portrait of Célestine, a maid in the service of the bourgeoisie. Through her eyes, social hypocrisy, domination, and hidden violence are revealed. A powerful work, still relevant today, that lays bare class and power relations.
