Jeanne er vokset op i et kloster afskærmet fra omverdenens grusomheder såvel som glæder. Som ganske ung forlader hun klostret og flytter hjem til sin familie i Normandiet. Uden at vide hvad et ægteskab faktisk indebærer, gifter hun sig med Julian de Lamare, som på deres bryllupsnat på ubarmhjertig manér lader hende forstå, hvad der forventes af en hustru."Et menneskeliv" følger Jeannes håbløse forsøg på at opnå lykke og kærlighed i et ægteskab, hvor hendes mand hurtigt kasserer hende for hendes egen kammerpige. Romanen er bredt anerkendt som Guy de Maupassants mesterværk og er et pragteksemplar på den franske realisme, der blomstrede op i sidste halvdel af 1800-tallet.Guy de Maupassant (1820-1893) var en fransk forfatter, der især er kendt for romanen "Smukke-ven" fra 1885 og for sine mange noveller. Hans arbejde er gennemsyret af den realistiske strømning, der prægede kunsten og litteraturen i midten af det 19. århundrede. Det, der især adskiller Maupassant fra hans samtidige forfatterkolleger som Emile Zola og Gustave Flaubert, er både de fantastiske strejf der går igen i flere af hans udgivelser, men også den udpræget pessimisme der er kendetegnende for hans forfatterskab. Maupassant led i perioder af hallucinationer og blev efter et selvmordforsøg indlagt på et privathospital i Paris, hvor han i en alder af bare 42 døde i 1893.

The fraternal love that Pierre Roland feels for his younger brother Jean has always been tinged with jealousy. But when a lawyer arrives at the house of their parents, to declare that an old family friend has bequeathed his entire fortune to Jean, this envy rapidly becomes an all-consuming force. Despising himself for the hate that he feels, Pierre roams the seaport of Le Havre alone, desperate to come to terms with his brother's success. As he walks through the streets, however, one thought dominates his mind. Why was he not left a share of the friend's estate? Vivid, ironical and emotionally profound, Pierre and Jean is considered Maupassant's greatest novel - an intensely personal story of suspicion, jealousy and family love.

Young, attractive and very ambitious, George Duroy, known to his friends as Bel-Ami, is offered a job as a journalist on La Vie francaise and soon makes a great success of his new career. But he also comes face to face with the realities of the corrupt society in which he lives - the sleazy colleagues, the manipulative mistresses and wily financiers - and swiftly learns to become an arch-seducer, blackmailer and social climber in a world where love is only a means to an end. Written when Maupassant was at the height of his powers, Bel-Ami is a novel of great frankness and cynicism, but it is also infused with the sheer joy of life - depicting the scenes and characters of Paris in the belle epoque with wit, sensitivity and humanity.
