A Lifetime: Illustrated Collector's Edition
General Fiction一生：插图珍藏版
(french) Written By Maupassant Illustrated By Eddie Legrand
"Life" tells the story of aristocratic woman Yona's life of pursuing happiness but not getting it. In "A Life", Maupassant noticed the close connection between women and nature with a keen eye. By describing the life of the aristocratic woman Yona whose ideals were constantly shattered, he raised thoughts on issues such as marriage and love under the "traditional" and patriarchal worldview, as well as people's reliance on religion. "A Life" is one of Maupassant's classic novels, and it is also Maupassant's first novel focusing on female feelings. "A Life" was completed under the urging and care of his mentor Flaubert. There are 4 manuscripts alone, and the novel took 5 years to complete. Although it was written intermittently, it was carefully polished and is the work of his painstaking efforts. The subsequent novels all have the shadow of "A Life".
