Description

Maupassant: Women, I tell you a story. Guy de Maupassant could certainly have written that...<div> In Guy de Maupassant's work, women hold a prominent place in his many tales and short stories. They are wonderfully described in all their states: young, old, lady of the manor or peasant, victim, serious or frivolous, with a realism and accuracy of tone that characterize his entire body of work.</div><div><br></div><div> <span style="color: black;">In this play, "The Dowry," one of the best-known of the four stories, portrays Mathilde as a victim of her husband's insidious dishonesty. Then comes a lighthearted and cheerful interlude with "The Moustache," where Jeanne, a learned noblewoman, extols to her friend the invaluable role of the moustache in men!</span></div><div><br></div><div> <span style="color: black;">In contrast, Maupassant is not lenient with men in "The Avenger," where the husband's jealousy seems so unjust that it becomes ridiculous. And finally, what a vibrant tribute to maternal love in this moving short story, "The Wait," superbly described with a sensitivity that characterizes the author's talent and touches us deeply.</span></div><div><br></div><div> <span style="color: black;">In a vibrant setting and musical atmosphere, the viewer shares the emotions of the characters of Maupassant, painter of the human soul.</span></div>
