Here it is... thoughts on The Little Cask by Maupassant.
It's an interesting little story with an important lesson (like many of the writer's stories). He always teaches us something. This one in particular teaches not to be greedy and to watch out for people who might seem like friends, but in reality want to trick you. That little lady thought she could outsmart the innkeeper into giving her more money for her land, but happened to be weaker that the alcohol.
I'd like to read the story's original, since this version seems awkward. I'd like to give it another chance in French. If anyone has read it in French, what were your thoughts about this English translation?
The end!
I haven't read the French version, but I agree that this one is a bit awkward.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree that the original version should be read to study the differences between both of them.
