Contes du jour et de la nuit: Large print by Guy de Maupassant Mme Simone ecoutait, le regard fixe devant elle, puis elle declara: --Non, decidement, le coeur de mon valet de pied ne me paraitrait pas suffisant. Raconte-moi donc comment tu t'apercevais qu'ils t'aimaient.--Je m'en apercevais comme avec les autres hommes, lorsqu'ils devenaient stupides.--Les autres ne me paraissent pas si betes a moi, quand ils m'aiment.--Idiots, ma chere, incapables de causer, de repondre, de comprendre quoi que ce soit. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
