A Piece of String is one of his most famous stories and deals in a very touching way with perception versus reality.
Editorial Reviews:
In "A Piece of String", 19th-century French writer Guy de Maupassant demonstrates why hes acclaimed as one of the first great masters of the short story.
Maître Hauchecorne sees a piece of string on the ground in the town of Goderville. Frugal like a "true Norman", he picks it up. Soon afterwards, he is accused of taking a lost pocketbook by someone who saw him picking up the string. To his great distress, no one believes his (true) story.
Cindy Hardin Killavey delivers a steady, understated performance in this richly described tale of guilt, innocence, and trial by public opinion.
