Octave Mirbeau n'est pas seulement un grand écrivain estampillé. C'est aussi un inquiéteur, un empêcheur de penser en rond, un infréquentable, un inclassable et un libertaire politiquement et littérairement incorrect. Dans le "Journal d'une femme de chambre", il donne la parole à une chambrière, ce qui est déjà subversif en soi, car un domestique, et plus encore une domestique femme, n'est pas supposé penser par lui-même, ni, a fortiori, tenir un journal et écrire comme Mirbeau.

Cuando conocí a Bruno, no sospechaba de la existencia de este cuaderno. Cuando él me conoció, no imaginaba los peligros a los que lo había expuesto su supuesto amor. Su plan consistía en escribir todo lo que hacía, pensaba y sentía en un cuaderno de tapa de cuero marrón para ofrecérselo a Lucila, la chica por la que había enloquecido. Por giros que Bruno no supo predecir, este cuaderno terminó en mis manos, y ahora está en las tuyas.
