Translation of Title

edit

Diabolique does not mean "she-devil". It is an adjective referring to the stories. The best translation for the title of the collection would be "Devilish Stories" or "Evil Stories".

As Barbey himself said, "Quant aux femmes de ces histoires, pourquoi ne seraient-elles pas Les Diaboliques ?" Widsith (talk) 15:07, 30 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
