Massival was, in fact, married. Before the days of his success he had contracted one of those unions that artists make and afterward trail after them through their renown until the day of their death. He never mentioned his wife's name, never presented her in society, which he frequented a great deal; and although he had three children the fact was scarcely known.

Mariolle laughed. She was decidedly nice, was this unconventional woman, pretty, and of a type not often met with. Without ever tiring, with a persistency that seemed in no wise embarrassing to her, he kept gazing upon that face, grave and gay and a little self-willed, with its audacious nose and its sensual coloring of a soft, warm blonde, warmed by the midsummer of a maturity so tender, so full, so sweet that she seemed to have re. . . Read More

Alien Hearts was first published in 1890 as Notre Coeur and was Maupassant's last novel.

رمنس قشنگی بود. قشنگ نوشته شده بود. توصیفات نازنینی داشت.

"You're breaking my heart," the wealthy, handsome Andre, now hopelessly smitten, tells the object of his desire, Michele, who replies : "Is that all?" Thus begins an astonishing novel about Love -- (one of the few ever written, as opposed to lust, sex, and so on). The French take "love" very serio

Guy De Maupassant... Her okuduğumda "Yok, bu seviyeye ulaşılamaz..." dediğim yazarlardan. "Aşklarımız"a başlarken konunun beni sıkabileceğini düşünmüştüm ama bitirmekten dolayı şu an ki üzüntümü anlatamam. Damadımda nefis bir tat bıraktı. Bir konu bu kadar mı güzel işlenir?
