{"product_id":"the-foreign-soul-the-guy-de-maupassant-9780955852510","title":"The Foreign Soul \u0026 the Angelus","description":"In The Foreign Soul we are in classic Maupassant territory. Robert Mariolle, a wealthy Parisian bachelor, has just arrived in the fashionable spa town of Aix-les-Bains determined to enjoy himself at the casino in the company of high society, attempting to get over his break up with mistress, Henriette Lambel. The Angelus was intended to be Maupassant's great masterpiece, an ambitious inverted allegory of Christianity into which the author would pour his growing pessimism and despair. Set during the Franco-Prussian War, as were some of Maupassant's finest short stories, The Angelus finds the pregnant Countess de Br montal alone in her ch teau as Prussian troops move into the neighbourhood. Here are the first English translations of Maupassant's two unfinished novels, The Foreign Soul  L'Ame  trang re] and The Angelus  L'Ang lus], together with full critical apparatus, including secondary sources outlining Maupassant's future plot ideas and an essay on The Foreign Soul by Paul Bourget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy De Maupassant, James Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 095585251X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780955852510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duchy of Lambeth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Guy De Maupassant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44063508889855,"sku":"9780955852510","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_468b616c-3019-4afa-933b-b8d9d27e8b93.jpg?v=1685389975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-foreign-soul-the-guy-de-maupassant-9780955852510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
