"Original Short Stories — Volume 05" by Guy de Maupassant is a series of glimpses into 19th-century lives, each story a mirror reflecting the tangled web of human connections.

As his world unravels through his wife's infidelity, especially with a man named Limousin, the story intensifies into an emotional storm of jealousy and heartbreak.
