Les Diaboliques #4 & 6

La vengeance d'une femme/dessous de cartes d'une partie de whist

Rate this book
Femme altière se prostituant dans les rues de Paris ou joueuse de whist au regard lointain, les héroïnes méphistophéliques de ces deux nouvelles sont aussi malfaisantes qu'envoûtantes. "Le tuer, pour tout cela ? Non ! c'était trop doux et trop rapide ! Il fallait quelque chose de plus lent et de plus cruel..."

Jules-Amédée Barbey d'Aurevilly was a novelist and literary critic at the Bonapartist paper Le Pays who was influential among fin-de-siècle decadents.
He specialised in mystery tales that explored hidden motivation and hinted at evil without being explicitly concerned with anything supernatural. He had a decisive influence on writers such as Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Henry James and Marcel Proust.
