Summary "Luja kuin kuolema" by Guy de Maupassant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Olivier Bertin, a wealthy and famous painter grappling with his artistic inspiration, personal relationships, and the passage of time, as he navigates the complexities of his life intertwined with the world of Parisian high society. The opening portion introduces us to Bertin's artistic struggle within his studio, filled with the remnants of his past works and a pervasive sense of ennui as he searches for a new theme to paint. His internal conflict is mirrored by his encounter with Countess de Guilleroy, a striking and captivating woman who enters his life unexpectedly, igniting an attraction between them. Their interaction reveals the dynamics of their relationship, as both characters grapple with their desires and the societal constraints that channel their feelings. This sets the stage for an exploration of love, morality, and artistic ambition against the backdrop of 19th-century French life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
