Œuvres complètes. Tome I L’Âne mort et la femme guillotinée

In May of 1829, a novel with an unforgettable title appeared: L’Âne mort et la femme guillotinée. The first novel by Jules Janin is not only a pastiche of freneticism or a parody of Le Dernier Jour d’un condamné. It is a personal work, one that combines humor and romantic disillusionment.
