The Necklace

The Necklace (La Parure) by Guy de Maupassant is a masterful short story of irony, vanity, and societal pressure. First published in 1884, this French literary classic tells the story of Madame Loisel, a woman born into modest means who yearns for wealth and luxury. When she borrows a beautiful necklace to attend a glamorous ball, a single careless decision sets off a chain of events that alters the course of her life.

With its sharp social critique and devastating twist ending, The Necklace has become one of the most anthologized and taught short stories in world literature. Maupassant’s clear, concise style and deep understanding of human nature are on full display in this tale of pride, sacrifice, and misplaced values.

This full audiobook captures the tension, elegance, and tragic irony of Maupassant’s original French narrative in a voice that blends subtle emotion with literary depth—perfect for fans of classic literature, moral tales, and psychological realism.
