Illustrated by George Cruikshank, it catalogued "in excruciating detail" the "petty outrages, minor humiliations, and tiny discomforts that make up everyday human existence". The Miseries were written as a series of discussions between Mr Samuel Sensitive and Mr Timothy Testy, in which they catalogue the daily "injuries, insults, disappointments and treacheries" of everyday life.

He begged forgiveness of anyone he may have offended and begged for God's forgiveness.

He said he would be alive if he had not done so.

From castle to slave galley, from sword-wracked battlefields to a princess's secret chamber, and ultimately, to the impregnable fortress of the Valley of the Assassins in the heart of Persia. The book is named for a merchant caravan's marching drum, first described in chapter 36: "We often sang as we marched, and there was always the sound of the walking drum, a sound I shall hear all my life, so deeply is it embedded in the fibers of my being..." The book is filled throughout with this theme of travel to faraway lands, as epitomized by the marching of merchant caravans of the time.

Carlos Fuentes wrote that this book "goes deeply into moral dilemmas and treachery…..nobody represents Chilean writing better today than Arturo Talavera Fontaine…and maybe nobody… better places the movement of the political and social reality of Chile within their own literary reality and the tensions, struggles, uncertainties loyalties and treacheries of a society in flux"". In her review of the book, Fietta Jarque in the Spanish daily paper El País, wrote that: > It is a novel that never flags…Fontaine has fashioned, sentence by sentence, > a story that doesn’t just end on the last page. Ignacio Echevarría points out that it deals, above everything else, with "the difficulty of assuming a past that has removed itself from every moral system and that, because of this, is revealed as largely unspeakable...in spite of all that Fontaine insists on doing it, by dint of conferring a moral value to the events by accepting them as thus". Masilover Rodenas in the daily paper La Vanguardia from Barcelona commented that "we are playing here with a confusion of genres (historical and fictitious)….
