Fort comme la mort by Guy de Maupassant
"Fort comme la mort" by Guy de Maupassant is a novel published in 1889. This psychological drama explores love and aging through the story of Olivier Bertin, a celebrated Parisian painter, and his longtime affair with Anne de Guilleroy. When Anne's daughter Annette returns as a beautiful eighteen-year-old bearing a striking resemblance to her mother's younger self, Bertin becomes unsettlingly captivated. The painter finds himself trapped between past passion and present decline,
confronting the cruel passage of time and his own fading youth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
