Une vie (Maupassant)


Une vie also known as L'Humble Vérité is the first novel written by Guy de Maupassant. It was serialised in 1883 in the Gil Blas, then published in book form the same year as L'Humble Vérité.

It was the basis for the 1958 film One Life, directed by Alexandre Astruc.

Leo Tolstoy called Une Vie "an excellent novel, not only incomparably the best novel by Maupassant, but almost the best French novel since Hugo's Les Miserables."
