Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait : "Avant de raconter un des plus effroyables épisodes de mon voyage en Extrême-Orient, il est peut-être intéressant que j'explique brièvement dans quelles conditions je fus amené à l'entreprendre. C'est de l'histoire contemporaine." Descriptif : Le jardin des supplices, invention littéraire de Mirbeau, réunit dans une configuration obsédante ces deux clichés : celui de la cruauté des Chinois qui lui sert de paravent exotique pour exposer une réflexion anthropologique portant sur la cruauté humaine en général. Il ne contient pas seulement des descriptions horrifiantes de supplices. Il contient aussi des considérations sur la cruauté humaine et sur la pulsion scopique et sur le voyeurisme. Le roman d’Octave Mirbeau a eu à l’époque un grand succès. Extrait : Si tu es près de moi… quand je mourrai… cher petit cœur… écoute bien !… Tu mettras… c’est cela… tu mettras un joli coussin de soie jaune entre mes pauvres petits pieds et le bois du cercueil… Et puis… tu tueras mon beau chien du Laos… et tu l’allongeras, tout sanglant, contre moi… comme il a coutume de s’allonger lui-même, tu sais, avec une patte sur ma cuisse et une autre patte sur mon sein… Et puis… longtemps… longtemps… tu m’embrasseras, cher amour, sur les dents… et dans les cheveux… Et tu me diras des choses… des choses si jolies… et qui bercent et qui brûlent… des choses comme quand tu m’aimes… Pas, tu veux, mon chéri ?… Tu me promets ?… Voyons, ne fais pas cette figure d’enterrement… Ce n’est pas de mourir, qui est triste… c’est de vivre quand on n’est pas heureux… Jure ! jure que tu me promets !… Le Jardin des supplices n'est pas seulement le catalogue de toutes les perversions dans lesquelles s'est complu l'imaginaire de 1900. L'ouvrage exprime aussi l'ambiguïté de l'attitude d'un Européen libéral, mais Européen avant tout, devant le colonialisme et ce qu'on n'appelait pas encore le Tiers Monde. Pour Mirbeau, la Chine est le lieu des plaisirs mortels et, par leur système pénal et l'invraisemblable raffinement de leur cruauté, les Chinois ne peuvent être à ses yeux que des barbares : Emmanuelle sur fond de guerre du Viêt-nam, comme l'écrit Michel Delon. Mais les Chinois vivent dans une société plus solidaire et matériellement moins asservie que la nôtre. Et surtout ils sont d'admirables artistes. Tel est le paradoxe de la Chine : un jardin de supplices mais aussi les plus belles porcelaines, les plus beaux bronzes que l'on ait jamais faits. «Voici donc les Barbares à peau jaune dont les civilisés d'Europe à peau blanche violent le sol. Nous sommes toujours les mêmes sauvages, les mêmes ennemis de la Beauté.»

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening in the Danish dungeon where James raves at the end of his days, the book tells the story of his life from childhood to the betrayal by a spurned lover that leads to his imprisonment. Born in a climate of religious schism the young James Hepburn, Lord of Bothwell, soon finds himself divided between his loyalties and his conscience. Maturing rapidly into a brilliant young man, he is called home from Paris to take his place as Lord Bothwell. Life had taught him to be a fierce warrior and a passionate lover, and James's fate is set in motion when he meets his Queen. A love springs up between them that will overcome religious divides, spill blood, and haunt Bothwell until his dying day. BACK COVER The passionate and tragic story of Lord Bothwell, husband of Mary Queen of Scots, set against a background of religious turmoil, political strife and dramatic warfare. Told from his final days in a Danish dungeon, James Bothwell's tragic story, centring on his intense relationship with Mary Queen of Scots, unfolds. Set against the backdrop of French and Scottish history, in a climate of revenge, ruthless killings and religious strife, James finds himself divided between his loyalties and his conscience. The life of this fierce warrior and passionate lover is followed from his troubled childhood to the events of his final betrayal. Yet it is his meeting with the beautiful Mary Stuart that would ultimately secure his fate. Whilst Scotland, England and France grapple for power, tragic consequences await the lovers, with repercussions that would alter their country forever.
