Pleasure and Pain
T01615138067
Stories by Guy De Maupassant. Lovers, good husbands, bad husbands, a Captain or two over-burdened with lust, good wives, bad wives, lies, deceit, dishonour, copulation, madness and even a death or two come together in
Pleasure and Pain. Maupassant's stories are the perfume-stained legacy of an ardent sensualist. Love and lovers are dissected through the tales of adultery, regret and the passion of the heart.
Pleasure and Pain is freely adapted from Maupassant's original stories. France's finest short fiction writer, he was best known disturbing tales of the human condition, thought to have been influenced by his descent into madness.
