Description
Henri Barbusse's Hell is a groundbreaking novel that probes the human condition with unflinching intensity.
A young man living in a Paris boarding house discovers a small hole in the wall above his bed, which becomes an obsessive spy into the private lives of his neighbors. As he watches, marriage, adultery, lesbianism, religion and death unfold before him, revealing the complexities of human experience.
First published in English in 1995, Hell was praised for its "nervous yet fluid rhythms" and "faultlessly keyed similes". This remarkable novel continues to shock and disturb readers with its unvarnished portrayal of life's darker aspects.
