Beskrivelse
Les Diaboliques


By Jules-Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly


Narrated by Cate Barratt and John Burlinson


This translation, by an unknown hand, of D'Aurevilly's salacious miscellany, which consists of six novellas, was published in 1900 under the title “Weird Women” and is in the public domain.


When the collection was first published in France in 1874, it caused up an uproar; it was declared a danger to public morality and the Prosecutor issued orders for its seizure on the grounds of blasphemy and obscenity.


Contents

2) The Greatest Love of Don Juan: An aged playboy, surrounded by past lovers, relates the tale of his most remarkable love affair.

4) Beneath the Cards of a Game of Whist: The secret affair of a lady and an expert whist player leads to an horrific act.
