When she is invited to a prestigious ball, she borrows an expensive necklace from a friend, only to lose it. In desperation, Mathilde and her husband work for ten years to repay the debt incurred to replace the necklace, only to discover at the end of the story that the original necklace was a fake, worth only a fraction of the price they paid to replace it. This story is a masterclass in irony, demonstrating how social vanity and the pursuit of appearances can lead to tragic consequences.Other stories in the collection continue in a similar vein, exploring the everyday lives of ordinary people, often with an ironic twist. Maupassants writing is known for its sharp, concise prose, and its exploration of themes such as the tension between appearances and reality, the fleeting nature of happiness, and the capriciousness of fate. The Necklace and Other Stories remains a testament to Maupassants ability to portray the human condition with both sympathy and sharp critique.</p>...6866829The Necklace and Other Stories2020https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-necklace-and-other-stories-9789368344841/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6768496/image.jpg?v=638724515444200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259789368344841_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_<p>The most famous story in this collection is The Necklace (La Parure), a tale about a young woman named Mathilde Loisel, who dreams of a more luxurious life.
