A vague jealousy, one of those dormant jealousies which grow up between brothers or sisters and slowly ripen till they burst, on the occasion of a marriage perhaps, or of some good fortune happening to one of them, kept them on the alert in a sort of brotherly and non-aggressive animosity. They were fond of each other, it is true, but they watched each other. Pierre, five years old when Jean was born, had looked with the eyes of a little petted animal at that other little animal which had suddenly come to lie in his father's and mother's arms and to be loved and fondled by them.

The most popular and perhaps the greatest of Maupassant's full-length novels, A Woman's Life is the story of the unfortunate Jeanne, a Norman gentlewoman. Avarice and lechery, cruelty and greed, conspire against Jeanne wherever she goes. Maupassant exposes the evil around Jeanne with characteristic detachment and precision, yet his pessimism is, as always, qualified by passages of great lyric beauty, and by the touching sympathy and tenderness with which he portrays his heroine.

"Mon Dieu ! Mon Dieu ! Je vais donc écrire enfin ce qui m'est arrivé ! Mais le pourrai-je ? l'oserai-je ? cela est si bizarre, si inexplicable, si incompréhensible, si fou ! Si je n'étais sûr de ce que j'ai vu, sûr qu'il n'y a eu, dans mes raisonnements, aucune défaillance, aucune erreur dans mes constatations, pas de lacune dans la suite inflexible de mes observations, je me croirais un simple halluciné, le jouet d'une étrange vision. Après tout, qui sait ?"

Maupassants Geschichten sind Momentaufnahmen des 19. Jahrhunderts – angesiedelt zwischen Paris und der Normandie, zwischen Salon und Schenke, zwischen Krieg, Liebe, Geld und Einsamkeit. In frühen realistischen Erzählungen wie Fettklößchen oder Vater Milon verarbeitet er seine Erfahrungen aus dem Deutsch-Französischen Krieg und entlarvt Patriotismus, Moral und gesellschaftliche Heuchelei mit bitterer Ironie. In späteren Erzählungen wie Der Horla verdichtet sich Maupassants zunehmende psychische Zerrissenheit zu unheimlichen, fast visionären Texten.

"Quand le capitaine Épivent passait dans la rue, toutes les femmes se retournaient. Il présentait vraiment le type du bel officier de hussards. Aussi paradait-il toujours et se pavanait-il sans cesse, fier et préoccupé de sa cuisse, de sa taille et de sa moustache. Il les avait superbes, d’ailleurs, la moustache, la taille et la cuisse. La première était blonde, très forte, tombant martialement sur la lèvre en un beau bourrelet couleur de blé mûr, mais fin, soigneusement roulé, et qui descendait ensuite des deux côtés de la bouche en deux puissants jets de poils tout à fait crânes."
