I'm halfway in this masterpiece, how come I've never seen it here?
It has everything you could want from a story:
Alphonse, a young Walloon officer, is travelling to join his regiment in Madrid in 1739. But he soon finds himself mysteriously detained at a highway inn in the strange and varied company of thieves, brigands, cabbalists, noblemen, coquettes and gypsies, whose stories he records over sixty-six days.

>The author committed suicide
We already have a few others who did, that's not a selling point.

See for yourself. It's stories inside stories, like decamaron, but very modern. Amazing that it was written in the early 19th century.
