Product Description

Quatrième de couverture

Pierre, médecin, ne comprend pas pourquoi un ami de sa famille a légué sa fortune à Jean, son frère cadet. Au terme d'une véritable enquête policière, il mettra au jour un terrible secret. Le quatrième roman de Maupassant (1850-1893), publié en 1888, est sans doute le meilleur. Le récit, qui tient à la fois de l'étude naturaliste et de l'analyse psychologique, s'appuie sur une intrigue, simple et forte. Dans sa célèbre préface, l'auteur développe une théorie qui préfigure la modernité romanesque : il s'agit moins de reproduire le réel que d'en donner l'illusion. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good story, Feb 27 2000

By	Marc L. Lauterbach "mlauterbach12" (Williamsburg, Va.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PIERRE ET JEAN BAC 2000 (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is one of Maupassant's finest works. It concerns the intruiges between two brothers (Pierre et Jean) when Jean inherits a large sum of money from a "familly friend" whom Pierre secretly suspects of being the father of his brother Jean. A great book, and a very interesting look at French society in the mid 1880's.
