Pierre et Jean by Guy de Maupassant
"Pierre et Jean" by Guy de Maupassant is a novel written between June and September 1887. When a family friend leaves his entire inheritance to Jean Roland, his brother Pierre begins to suspect their mother's fidelity and Jean's legitimacy. Pierre's investigation uncovers painful truths that tear the family apart, leading to violent confrontations and shifting loyalties. This psychological realist work explores themes of heredity, bourgeois family life, and the destructive power of
hidden secrets as one brother's life flourishes while the other's crumbles. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
