Sintesi dell'editore
This is a story from the Normandy Stories collection.
Maupassant is hailed as one of the greatest masters of the short story. This collection focuses upon the land he knew and loved so well - Normandy. Its people and its countryside are portrayed here in vivid color and with great warmth. Amusing, saucy, and sometimes even farcical they may be, but they are also capable of great pathos, often branching off to end tragically. It is this skilful and affecting blend of tragedy and comedy, of tears and laughter, which make Maupassant's Normandy Stories the enduring favorites they are today.
Recensioni editoriali
Guy de Maupassant’s exquisite short story, an intoxicating concoction of humor and eroticism with an uproarious twist ending, deals with the slow-burning courtship of the "despairing adorer" Baron Joseph de Croissard and the object of his affection: the confident, ravishing, but still-married Madame Bertha d’Avancelles in this captivating audiobook enriched by the pitch-perfect performance of Oliver Montgomery, who, along with amplifying the tension of the thrilling boar hunt the Baron takes part in, also manages to inject a sincerity to the more subdued, intimate moments the two prospective lovers share.
