“The Necklace”, a Maupassant masterpiece renowned for its pathos and shocking ending, tells of Mathilde, who aspires to high society despite being married to a low-paid clerk. When her husband manages to cadge an invitation to a grand ball at the Ministry of Education, Mathilde refuses to attend unless she can look the part. She obtains a splendid gown, but then demands a necklace to go with it. Thus she borrows a diamond necklace from a friend – and so their troubles begin.This volume also includes two more Maupassant classics: “The Piece of String”, in which an indignant villager is wrongly accused of stealing a pocketbook, and “Mouche”, a poignant portrait of five merry bargemen and the woman who joins them on their journeys up and down the Seine, loving each of them freely.

Like all of Guy de Maupassant's work, "Strong as Death" is a poignant and haunting tale. It is a tale of love, life, death, and the mystery of the human heart; a tale of an affair of the heart that cannot stand the light of day - a profane love that lasts a lifetime, and haunts from beyond the grave."Strong as Death" is great fun and the society portrait works well. The novel focuses on the narcissistic sentimentality in the obsessive romantic love between Olivier Bertin and Madame de Guilleroy.
