L'Inutile Beauté
by Guy de Maupassant from 1890
About
This later Maupassant collection includes 'L'Inutile Beauté,' 'Madame Hermet,' and other stories from his final phase — darker, more psychologically complex, and more technically assured than his early work. 'L'Inutile Beauté' — about a woman who has become pregnant ten times against her will and decides to deny her husband — is one of his most formally bold stories. As reading material the stories offer Maupassant at his most philosophically serious.
