This 1913 novel is an adaptation of the controversial play
Les Avariés, by the French playwright Eugène Brieux, which featured the first frank depiction of sex and STIs. In Sinclair’s novelization, George Dupont, while engaged to his cousin, contracts syphilis, leading to a plot which aims to dispel the myths and spread knowledge about sexually transmitted infections.
