«Una vida» is the first novel by French writer Guy de Maupassant, published by Alba Editorial in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Jeanne, daughter of the minor nobility, from her idealistic youth to old age. Married to Viscount Julien, her life is marked by disillusionment and by social conventions that suffocate her. Maupassant thus traces a naturalist portrait of love, marriage and loss in nineteenth-century France.
The novel was originally published in 1883. This edition by Alba Editorial, in the Clásica collection, appeared in 2000 with a translation by María Teresa Gallego.
For readers of nineteenth-century French classic fiction interested in naturalism and in portraits of female characters.
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a 19th-century French author, celebrated as a master of the short story and associated with the naturalist literary school of thought, depicting human lives, destinies, and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms.
