| Summary | "Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 09" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of literary works written during the late 19th century. This volume includes short stories such as "Les Sœurs Rondoli" and "Le Baiser," which reflect Maupassant's keen observations of human nature and society. The narrative often involves complex characters grappling with love, loneliness, and societal conventions, capturing the emotional and psychological intricacies of their relationships. At the start of "Les Sœurs Rondoli," we are introduced to Pierre Jouvenet, who shares his disdain for travel while expressing a longing to visit Italy, including iconic cities like Venice and Florence. He expresses reluctance about leaving Paris but feels compelled to persuade his friend Paul Pavilly to join him on this adventure. The two friends embark on a journey, encountering a striking young Italian woman on the train who becomes a focal point of their intrigue and desire, leading to questions about her background and intentions. This opening sets the stage for a voyage through individuals’ desires, cultural encounters, and the complexities of romance, emblematic of Maupassant's distinctive style.
