About Pierre and Jean

Maupassant's finest novel (1888) — the story of two brothers in Le Havre whose relationship is destroyed when Jean receives an unexpected inheritance, and Pierre begins to suspect what that inheritance implies about their mother's past. Prefaced by Maupassant's famous essay 'The Novel,' arguing for authorial effacement and precise psychological observation.
