''In the Land of Pain'' is a collection of notes by Alphonse Daudet chronicling the pain and suffering he experienced from tabes dorsalis, its effects on his relationships with friends, family, and other people, and the various drugs he took and physical treatments he underwent in his fight against the disease. Daudet originally began making these notes for a projected book, but none of the material was published in his lifetime. He planned to use the title ''La Doulou'', a Provençal word for pain. The collection was published in French in 1930 in a volume titled ''La Doulou (La Douleur): 1887–1895 et Le Trésor d'Arlatan: 1897'', and translated into English in 2002 by Julian Barnes. ==Synopsis== Daudet records observations, experiences, and aphorisms related to his intense suffering over the course of many years. He describes his symptoms in graphic detail and charts their progression. This begins with isolated attacks of agonising nerve pain, and eventually becomes a daily litany of pain and use of drugs like Opium and Chloral hydrate to fight it. He comments on the effect of his illness on family and friends, and on his outlook on life. He describes the different physical treatments he underwent, including being suspended in the air, diets, and a variety of injections. He also details his observations of fellow sufferers of the disease and his interactions with them. In his later years, he frequently spent time at sanitariums, becoming a celebrity among the other patients. He describes his time at these sanitariums in detail. Daudet stopped making these notes a few years before his death.
