1884
A collection of literary works written during the late 19th century. This particular volume includes the short story ''Le Rosier de Madame Husson,'' along with several other works such as ''Souvenirs,'' ''Celles qui osent,'' and ''L'Anglais d'Étretat.'' The narratives often explore themes of social norms, personal dilemmas, and the complexities of human relationships, reflecting the dynamic societal shifts of Maupassant’s time. The opening of ''Le Rosier de Madame Husson'' introduces readers to a character named Raoul Aubertin who encounters a train accident while traveling. This incident prompts him to seek out an old friend and doctor, Albert Marambot, who resides in Gisors. As the two reconnect over a meal, they engage in humorous and insightful conversations about life, society, and the quirks of their provincial town. The initial chapters set a lively tone, highlighting Maupassant's knack for combining detailed character observations with a critique of social conventions, which signals intriguing developments in the story's narrative.
