Maupassant Guy
Summary
Guy de Maupassant: Pierre and Jean / Twenty-one novels
This is a work that is considered a masterpiece of a psychological novel and a prominent example of naturalism in French literature of the late 19th century. Maupassant, known for his sharp observations of human nature and social hypocrisies, with this novel, published for the first time in sequels at the end of 1887 and beginning of 1888, offered a deep and poignant study of family relationships, jealousy, suspicion and moral dilemmas within a bourgeois family in Le Havre. It is a story that seemingly begins as a simple family event, but quickly turns into a complex drama that exposes dark secrets and questions the foundations on which the apparent family happiness rests. The novel is set in the peaceful port city of Le Havre and follows the everyday life of the Roland family, which consists of a father (a retired former jeweler), a mother and their two grown-up sons. The older son, Pierre, is a doctor struggling to find a stable practice, while the younger, Jean, is a lawyer just starting his career. Their lives are relatively peaceful until the family receives news of the death of an old family friend, pharmacist Léon Maréchal. The shock comes when the family gathers for the reading of the will, and it is revealed that Maréchal left his considerable fortune exclusively to his younger son, Jean, without mentioning Pierre or his parents. This unexpected and, in the eyes of observers, inexplicable inheritance triggers an avalanche of doubts and questions... Translated from the French by Slavko Ježić. Novels translated and afterword written by Ivo Hergešić. Furnished by Boris Dogan.
