Boule de Suif est une nouvelle incontournable de Guy de Maupassant, à la fois courte et percutante. L’histoire se déroule pendant la guerre franco-prussienne, alors qu’un groupe de voyageurs fuit Rouen, occupée par les Prussiens. Parmi eux, Boule de Suif, une prostituée au grand cœur, va se révéler bien plus courageuse et humaine que les bourgeois "respectables" qui l'entourent.

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.

This decade is resplendent with literature and its many prodigiously talented authors who write on as varied a range of subjects as might be thought possible. Yet each is studded with careful literary precision and narrative verve. It is a remarkable decade.

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country.

Diplomacy by other means may, at times, sound heroic. A fight for principles and ideals carried out by young men armed to the teeth and directed by older men in pursuit of their own version of glory for themselves and their Nations. Right will triumph over wrong. But war can be an illusion, stirred up by schemers and opportunists to take something from other nations that may or may not be right. As blood and limb are sacrificed the true cost is seen but often set to one side as the dispute becomes embedded in emotions and reason falls away.

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.
