A classic misunderstood 1

In unconditional de Maupassant, "Strong as Death" is my favorite by this author: discovered by accident, when I had already devoured the novels "known", this book was a revelation. It seems to me the most sensitive, the most cruel also: his description of the passage of time and its effect on every character is beautiful, moving. I have trouble finding the words to match my enthusiasm ... I have only one advice: read this book!
