Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

The diary is that most intimate of journals, of records. Within its pages the writer records and gives expression to their thoughts, their feelings, their emotional state on all the things that make up and surround them in this world. With authors of the calibre of Bulgakov, Woolf, Tolstoy, Twain and many others this volume explores characters whose lives seem dominated by these diaries, and the events that unfold are both compelling and literary journeys into the very personal and intimate side of their characters’ lives.

Écrite en 1879, Boule de Suif est la nouvelle qui a imposé Guy de Maupassant comme un maître.

La Main est une nouvelle fantastique de Guy de Maupassant parue en 1883. "Or, j'appris un jour qu'un Anglais venait de louer pour plusieurs années une petite villa au fond du golfe. Il avait amené avec lui un domestique français, pris à Marseille en passant. Bientôt tout le monde s'occupa de ce personnage singulier, qui vivait seul dans sa demeure, ne sortant que pour chasser et pour pêcher.

A glittering evening. The rustle of silk. The gleam of chandeliers and whispered admiration following her every graceful turn. In that moment, she is everything she was born to be—adored, envied, radiant. But the night ends. And reality waits in the shadows. In a world where appearances speak louder than truths, how much is one willing to sacrifice to fit into a vision of elegance? And when the cost of illusion becomes a lifelong sentence, what remains of the dream?

A snowbound coach. Ten strangers. One woman who doesn't fit in—and never tries to. In Boule de Suif, Guy de Maupassant doesn't just tell a story—he dissects society with a scalpel dipped in irony. The setting is wartime France, the passengers are a cross-section of "respectable" society, and the tension isn't just political, it's personal. Class, hypocrisy, and the polite savagery of moral convenience bubble just beneath the surface. She's not like them. And that's the problem. Or maybe the solution. She feeds them when they're hungry.

Le roman raconte l'histoire d'une femme du monde, froide et sans coeur, frigide ou lesbienne peut-être, comme Maupassant en a connu, qui se livre ici plus que dans aucun de ses romans. Le héros, face à cet être fascinant et redoutable, prend une autre maîtresse, qui ne lui suffit guère. Il est dévasté par une passion amoureuse, violente, mélancolique et cruelle. C'est un roman douloureux, écrit par un Maupassant déjà malade, et qui dit comme un adieu aux femmes qui ont été le désir, le tourment, et les victimes de sa vie.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. There are times when love is not a revelation and a calling from one soul to another but a carefully navigated path, or maybe a badly chosen path that decimates happiness. Which way will our literary leviathans take us? Inevitably it will be more than one.

There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
