English Pierre and Jean Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_et_Jean Translation of Pierre et Jean. Dagny, John Bickers and David Widger "Pierre and Jean" by Guy de Maupassant is a novel set in the late 19th century that explores the complexities of family dynamics, jealousy, and the impact of inheritance. The story revolves around the two brothers, Pierre and Jean Roland, who have just returned to their hometown of Le Havre. As the narrative unfolds, the tension between the brothers begins to surface, particularly following the unexpected legacy left to Jean by a family friend, which raises questions surrounding wealth, loyalty, and identity. The opening of "Pierre and Jean" introduces us to the Roland family during a fishing trip, where we meet the proud fisherman, old Roland, and his two sons. Pierre, the elder brother, is a medical graduate but lacks direction, while Jean, the younger, has successfully completed his law studies. As they enjoy a leisurely day on the water, hints of deeper familial rivalries emerge, especially concerning Jean's increasing bond with their attractive neighbor, Madame Rosémilly. With the backdrop of a fishing adventure, the seeds of jealousy and ambition are delicately planted as the brothers confront the implications of their differing fates, setting the stage for a layered examination of human relationships intricately woven throughout the novel.
