Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 12 by Guy de Maupassant
"Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 12" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of literary works likely written in the late 19th century. The volume includes the novella "Yvette," which explores themes of love, desire, and the complexities of social dynamics through the interactions between its main characters, Jean de Servigny and Yvette. Their relationship serves as a lens through which the reader can delve into the hedonistic and,
at times, morally ambiguous world of Parisian society. The opening of "Yvette" introduces us to Jean de Servigny and his friend Léon Saval as they stroll along the bustling streets of Paris. Their conversation reveals a world filled with intrigue and flamboyance, where they discuss the enigmatic marquise Obardi and her captivating daughter, Yvette. As Servigny navigates his feelings for Yvette, he grapples with conflicting emotions of desire and confusion regarding her true nature. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the luxurious yet perilous life in the Parisian elite, as Servigny, drawn to Yvette's beauty and charm, becomes entangled in a complex web of attraction, jealousy, and societal expectations.
