À propos de ce contenu audio
This is a story from the Normandy Stories collection.
Maupassant is hailed as one of the greatest masters of the short story. This collection focuses upon the land he knew and loved so well - Normandy. Its people and its countryside are portrayed here in vivid color and with great warmth. Amusing, saucy, and sometimes even farcical they may be, but they are also capable of great pathos, often branching off to end tragically. It is this skilful and affecting blend of tragedy and comedy, of tears and laughter, which make Maupassant's Normandy Stories the enduring favorites they are today.

Narrator Oliver Montgomery has a knack for revealing details about characters and their motivations through the voices he creates for them. In this short story from Guy de Maupassant, Montgomery expertly blends together indignation, pettiness, remorse, and parsimoniousness for the character of Madame Lefevre, a wealthy but miserly widow who buys a dog - the eponymous Pierrot - after someone has stolen onions from her garden. However, Madame Lefevre is disappointed in Pierrot and throws him down a well. Montgomery unflinchingly narrates the series of events that follow, never flinching away from de Maupassant's satirical look at the bourgeoisie.
