Une vie by Guy de Maupassant
"Une vie" by Guy de Maupassant is a novel serialized and published in 1883. It follows Jeanne, a sheltered Norman aristocrat consumed by romantic fantasies, who marries the handsome Viscount Julien. Her dreams of an idyllic future quickly crumble as she discovers her husband's cruelty, infidelity, and greed. Through betrayals by those closest to her, Jeanne's innocence dissolves into disillusionment. She pours her hopes into her son Paul, seeking meaning in a
life marked by heartbreak and the gap between romantic ideals and harsh reality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
