“The Necklace” is the world-famous story by the great French writer Guy de Maupassant, in which the heroine ruins her entire life for the sake of a single necklace. This book also includes Maupassant’s timeless novel A Woman’s Life, which Tolstoy once praised as the greatest work of French literature after Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. The protagonist, Jeanne, is deeply attached to people and things—a bond that arises from the depths of her soul but brings her nothing but suffering. Her husband, Julien, betrays her, forces their maid Rosalie to bear his child, and has illicit relations with Countess Gilberte. Ultimately, his vile nature leads him to a terrible death. Jeanne, left alone and tormented, continues to suffer, yet she can never let go of her attachments.
