«La Parure» is a collection of three short stories by Guy de Maupassant, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (91 pages, in French).
It brings together three stories: in «La Parure», a woman who longs for another life borrows a piece of jewelry; «La Légende du Mont-Saint-Michel» mixes Norman folklore and peasant humor; «Sur l'eau» recreates the unsettling night of a river. Irony, sometimes affectionate and sometimes cruel, runs through all three tales and reveals human motivations.
Part of the Libretti collection from Le Livre de Poche. Complete text, with introduction and notes by Gilles Ernst.
For readers of nineteenth-century French classics and short fiction; often appears in school reading lists.
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a 19th-century French author, celebrated as a master of the short story and associated with the naturalist literary school of thought, depicting human lives, destinies, and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms.
