Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Calvary: A Novel" by Octave Mirbeau is a novel published in 1886. This largely autobiographical work follows Jean Mintie, a aspiring writer consumed by sexual obsession and tormented by a destructive affair with a woman of questionable morals. Unable to escape his passion, he descends into humiliated impotence, attempting to transform his suffering into creative expression. His redemptive journey mirrors the Passion of Christ, though his calvary leads not to salvation but to the battlefield of love's casualties.
