		Octave Henri Marie Mirbeau was born on February 16, 1848 in Trevieres, in the department Calvados, in Normandy.
		During the Dreyfus Affair of 1897-98, Mirbeau was among the most prominent Dreyfusards in France, and the affair was in fact the underlying inspiration for his fourth novel, The Torture Garden (1899), which offers perhaps one of the ugliest illustrations of Government and the motives thereof ever written in any language.
		Mirbeau was a founding member of the Acadamie Goncourt, which has been, since its creation in 1896, the most revered of the French literary societies, and is composed of ten members who give annual prizes to the best volume of imaginative prose.

	Octave Mirbeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Octave Mirbeau (February 16, 1848 in Trévières - February 16, 1917) was a French journalist, art critic, pamphleteer, novelist, and playwright who achieved celebrity in Europe and great success among the public, while still appealing to the literary and artistic avant-garde.
		As an art critic, Mirbeau campaigned on behalf of the “great gods nearest to his heart”: he sang the praises of Rodin, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Félix Vallotton, and Pierre Bonnard, and was an early advocate of Vincent Van Gogh, Camille Claudel, Aristide Maillol, and Maurice Utrillo.
		Mirbeau then underwent a grave existential and literary crisis, yet during this time, he still published in serial form a pre-existentialist novel about the artist’s fate, Dans le ciel (In the Sky), introducing the figure of a painter directly modeled on Van Gogh.

		Octave Mirbeau penned the phrase in an 1884 column for the right-wing journal Le Gaulois and would continue to style Rodin as Michelangelo for the rest of the decade.
		Mirbeau was a powerful advocate always seeking a scandal to denounce or an unknown artist to defend and promote.
		Mirbeau's construction of Rodin as the modern Michelangelo achieved its full form in 1889 with the Monet-Rodin exhibition organized by Mirbeau at the Galeries Georges Petit.

		Mirbeau's frequent about-face in his allegiances makes him appear as someone who was not to be trusted.
		Mirbeau severely criticized actors in "Le comédien." He later reversed his attitude and dedicated an admiring article to Sarah Bernhardt as a token of gratitude for having accepted the part of Madeleine in his play, Les Mauvais Bergers (Le Journal 20 April 1898).

		For Mirbeau, anarchism did not just mean revolutionising literature, but giving himself, his time and his money to it.
		Luis Bunuel, the Spanish filmmaker understood this, and in his film of Mirbeau’s novel, he shows how the rise of fascism is linked to the ideas and values of the ruling class.
		Mirbeau’s most notorious novel The Torture Garden is often dismissed as nothing more than a decadent novel of sado-masochism.

		It is redeemed by the fact that, ghastly as Mirbeau's observations are, any sane reader will be forced to admit their truth.
		First, Mirbeau was an atheist; second, an anarchist; third, Clara is bisexual; fourth, she has hideous fetishes; fifth, sixth, etc. Nigh every page is festering with corruption and decadence - the protagonist's, and the book's, redeeming quality is that this corruption is recognized as such.
		Worse, Mirbeau seems to have decided to ignore such things as continuity (contrast, for example, the endless, intensely boring frame at the beginning of the novel with its final page, and wonder how the narrator got from point B to point A).

	Diary of a Chambermaid
		The objects of satire in the film are consistent with other themes in Buñuel's repertoire – the clergy, the bourgeoisie, rationality in both narrative and character – as well as something not quite satirised as much as foreshadowed: Fascism.
		Celestine is not committed to anything; her sudden marriage to the Captain is chosen by Buñuel because the irrational is more faithful to the unconscious.
		Buñuel's Celestine avoids the possibly more irrational fate of Mirbeau's, who ends up with Joseph in Cherbourg, repulsed and attracted by his demonic qualities, aware of his guilt but ultimately “happy to be with him” (6).
