| Summary | "Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 14" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. This volume includes various tales that predominantly explore themes of human emotion and morality, often with a twist of irony or a shocking revelation. The book presents a vivid portrayal of life during that era, focusing on characters from different social strata and their often tumultuous experiences. The opening of the collection introduces the story "Le Crime au père Boniface," which follows the character of Boniface, a rural postman, who is initially elated by a lighter workload for the day. However, his day takes a darker turn as he comes across a horrific crime that has been committed in the village. Gripped by fear and uncertainty, Boniface runs to alert the local gendarmerie, but his discovery is met with disbelief and mockery, leading to a blend of dark humor and commentary on the nature of crime and community response. The setup effectively immerses readers in Maupassant's world, marked by a captivating mix of suspense and social commentary. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
