Octave Mirbeau's life began on February 16, 1850, in the picturesque town of Trevières, nestled within the Calvados department of France. This renowned writer would go on to leave an indelible mark on the literary world, his works including the iconic novels "The Diary of a Chambermaid" (1946),"Diary of a Chambermaid" (1964),and the provocative "Business Is Business" (1915).
Throughout his life, Mirbeau was joined by his loving wife, Alice Regnault, who shared in the triumphs and tribulations of his remarkable career. Tragically, his life came to a close on February 16, 1917, in the city of love and art, Paris, France.
