The Inferno
by Henri Barbusse
A young man living in a boarding house in Paris finds a hole in the wall above his bed. Alternatively as a voyeur and seer, he obsessively examines the private moments and secret activities of his neighbors: birth, first love, marriage, betrayal, illness and death - all this is presented to him through this spy hole. Decades ahead of its time, when Hell first appeared in English, the judge shocked and scandalized an audience.
