Young bride Christiane arrives in the picturesque Auvergne region to take the waters with her husband, who is humorously described as a sickly flower or a shaved piglet. What she anticipates as a serene family getaway quickly spirals into a web of intrigue, where her father, the Marquis, and a rather antiquated medical team conspire over the pressing issue of producing an heir. Amidst the chaos, the emergence of a new spa disrupts the status quo, elevating a humble family to unexpected heights.

Paris liegt unter Schockstarre, seitdem es von den Preußen belagert wird. Doch zwei Freunde, die leidenschaftlich dem Hobby des Angelns frönen, wollen die erzwungene Untätigkeit nicht länger hinnehmen. Kurzerhand schleichen sie ans Ufer der Seine.

Story0
Le roman raconte l'histoire d'une femme du monde, froide et sans coeur, frigide ou lesbienne peut-être, comme Maupassant en a connu, qui se livre ici plus que dans aucun de ses romans. Le héros, face à cet être fascinant et redoutable, prend une autre maîtresse, qui ne lui suffit guère. Il est dévasté par une passion amoureuse, violente, mélancolique et cruelle. C'est un roman douloureux, écrit par un Maupassant déjà malade, et qui dit comme un adieu aux femmes qui ont été le désir, le tourment, et les victimes de sa vie.

Story0
Maupassants Geschichten sind Momentaufnahmen des 19. Jahrhunderts – angesiedelt zwischen Paris und der Normandie, zwischen Salon und Schenke, zwischen Krieg, Liebe, Geld und Einsamkeit. In frühen realistischen Erzählungen wie Fettklößchen oder Vater Milon verarbeitet er seine Erfahrungen aus dem Deutsch-Französischen Krieg und entlarvt Patriotismus, Moral und gesellschaftliche Heuchelei mit bitterer Ironie. In späteren Erzählungen wie Der Horla verdichtet sich Maupassants zunehmende psychische Zerrissenheit zu unheimlichen, fast visionären Texten.

"Quand le capitaine Épivent passait dans la rue, toutes les femmes se retournaient. Il présentait vraiment le type du bel officier de hussards. Aussi paradait-il toujours et se pavanait-il sans cesse, fier et préoccupé de sa cuisse, de sa taille et de sa moustache. Il les avait superbes, d’ailleurs, la moustache, la taille et la cuisse. La première était blonde, très forte, tombant martialement sur la lèvre en un beau bourrelet couleur de blé mûr, mais fin, soigneusement roulé, et qui descendait ensuite des deux côtés de la bouche en deux puissants jets de poils tout à fait crânes."
