Les Vingt-et-un jours d'un neurasthénique is a novel by French writer Octave Mirbeau, published in 1901. It is a scathing satire of French society during the Belle Époque, with its vices, corruption, and inequalities. The protagonist, a neurasthenic, is a privileged observer of this decadent world, which he describes with dark humor and relentless lucidity.
Octave Henri Marie Mirbeau was a French novelist, art critic, travel writer, pamphleteer, journalist and playwright, who achieved celebrity in Europe and great success among the public, whilst still appealing to the literary and artistic avant-garde with highly transgressive novels that explored violence, abuse and psychological detachment. His work has been translated into 30 languages.
