About this audiobook
“The Piece of String” by Guy de Maupassant is a timeless short story from 1883 that captures the tension between appearance and truth in a small French village. With sharp irony and emotional depth, Maupassant explores how pride, suspicion, and social perception can shape a man’s fate. Originally published in the collection Miss Harriet, this classic work of French literature is a compelling reflection on human nature, reputation, and the power of rumor.
