Description
A Life: A Humble Truth by Guy de Maupassant This novel, the first in Maupassant's six novels, explores the human experience through the story of Jeanne de Lamare. With its intricate structure and naturalistic vision, A Life presents a unflinching portrayal of a woman's life of failure and disappointment. Maupassant's characteristic satire of bourgeois manners and his attention to form are on full display in this novel. The author's focus on the tension between stasis and change creates a compelling portrait of dispossession and powerlessness, one that is both thought-provoking and deeply unsettling. Published by Oxford University Press, A Life is part of the acclaimed Oxford World's Classics series, which has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years.
