«Une partie de campagne» is the short story by Guy de Maupassant, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (96 pages, in French).
The short story portrays a bourgeois family that leaves the city to spend a day in the French countryside. The seemingly innocent outing turns into an unexpected encounter that awakens hidden desires and reveals the fragility of social conventions. Maupassant observes human nature and the fleetingness of pleasure.
This edition from the Libretti collection brings together «Une partie de campagne» with the screenplay of Jean Renoir's film, with an introduction and notes by Henry Gidel; the story was originally published in 1881.
For students of French literature and for those who want to compare the story with its film adaptation.
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.
