Résumé

"Pierre et Jean" is a novel written by the French author Guy de Maupassant, first published in 1888. The novel is a classic work of French literature and is often regarded as one of Maupassant's masterpieces. The story revolves around the lives of two brothers, Pierre and Jean Roland, who are inextricably linked to their family and their father's legacy. The family's dynamics are disrupted when a mysterious inheritance reveals long-buried secrets, leading to jealousy, resentment, and emotional turmoil. "Pierre et Jean" explores themes of family, identity, jealousy, and the human capacity for deceit. In addition to "Pierre et Jean," Guy de Maupassant is known for his mastery of the short story genre. Many of his short stories, such as "The Necklace," "Boule de Suif," and "The Horla," are celebrated for their keen observations of human nature and society. Maupassant's works often reflect the social and psychological complexities of his time and have had a lasting impact on French literature.

L'auteur - Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) est un écrivain français qui a marqué la littérature par ses romans - Une Vie, Bel ami, etc. -, mais surtout par ses nouvelles, notamment Boule de Suif ou Le Horla. Ces oeuvres retiennent l'attention par leur force réaliste, la présence importante du fantastique et par la maîtrise stylistique. La carrière littéraire de Maupassant se limite à une décennie - de 1880 à 1890 - avant qu'il ne sombre peu à peu dans la folie et ne meure à 43 ans.
