Titres dans Vie de famille

Christmas is the season of good cheer and harmony among men, but things are not working out quite that way in the Bunker household. As a motley collection of friends and relatives fill the house with their own wishes, dreams and attitudes, the stage is set for seasonal disharmony and romantic intrigue. It’s Christmas Eve and while Belinda is rushing around decorating the tree and seeing to all the guests and their needs, Eddie and Pattie are having a serious bust-up.

Dans cette nouvelle mordante, un mari tyrannique et son épouse s’affrontent derrière les convenances. La beauté, tant célébrée qu’irrémédiablement inutile, devient l’enjeu d’un duel intime où se révèlent domination et désir d’émancipation. Avec son ironie précise et sa lucidité cruelle, Maupassant explore les pièges du mariage, la foi et le hasard, en un dialogue où chaque mot pèse. Un portrait sans fard des mœurs et un suspense psychologique tout en retenue, à écouter pour la netteté du style et l’écho troublant de ses questions.
