Guy de Maupassant Boeken

Guy de Maupassant is ongetwijfeld een van de grote literaire meesters van de 19e eeuw. Deze Normandiër met zijn Vikingsnor, bezat een legendarische levensdrift: zijn populaire liefdesverhalen zijn daar de neerslag van. Deze omnibus bevat het bekende Bel-Ami (1885), waarin de hoofdpersoon op egoïstische wijze manipuleert met de liefde om hogerop te komen; het humoristisch-satirische De badplaats Mont-Oriol (1887) en het prachtige verhaal Pierre en Jean (1888), waarin de relatie tussen twee halfbroers verstoord wordt omdat de een plotseling een geweldig vermogen geërfd blijkt te hebben.
