Calvary, the first major novel by Octave Mirbeau, is a powerful and deeply personal account of obsession, suffering, and the struggle for redemption. The story is narrated by Jean Mintie, a disillusioned writer who recounts the devastating effects of his passionate and destructive relationship with Juliette, a woman of questionable virtue.
