Pierre and Jean is a naturalist or psycho-realist work written by Guy de Maupassant. Pierre and Jean are the sons of Gérôme Roland, a jeweller who has retired to Le Havre, and his wife Louise. Pierre works as a doctor, and Jean is a lawyer. It recounts the story of a middle-class French family whose lives are changed when Léon Maréchal, a deceased family friend, leaves his inheritance to Jean. This provokes Pierre to doubt the fidelity of his mother and the legitimacy of his brother. Pierre discovers that his theories about his brother's illegitimacy are correct when he finds and reads old letters that his mother and Léon Marechal had been sending to each other. This investigation sparks violent reactions in Pierre, whose external appearance vis a vis his mother visibly changes. In his anguish, most notably shown during family meals, he tortures her with allusions to the past that he has now uncovered. Meanwhile, Jean's career and love life improve over the course of the novel while Pierre's life gets significantly worse. Provoked by his brother's accusations of jealousy, Pierre reveals to Jean what he has learned. However, unlike Pierre, Jean offers his mother love and protection. The novel closes with Pierre’s departure on an oceanliner. Thus the novel is organised around the unwelcome appearance of a truth (Jean’s illegitimacy), its suppression for the sake of family continuity and the acquisition of wealth, and the expulsion from the family of the legitimate son.

Jean Carter ist ein ungewöhnliches Mädchen. Mit 6 Jahren hat sie ihren Hamster Bernie seziert, mit 8 hat sie ihrer Mutter vermeintlich "aus versehen" den Zeigefinger abgeschnitten. Nun für einen Psychiater ist klar: Jean ist Sadistin. Doch die 16 Jährige ist damit ganz und gar nicht einverstanden, sie versucht gegen das Bedürfnis Leute leiden zu sehen an und verliebt sich bei dem Versuch tatsächlich in den gutaussehenden Devon. Doch was sich hinter dem geheimnisvollen Devon versteckt ist weit schlimmer als die Tatsache das Jean eine kleine Sadistin ist. Zumal Devon den Spieß umdreht, denn nun ist Jean nicht mehr die, welche ihre Mitmenschen quält, sondern er der sie quält. [more]

Fergus and Jean were very tired of the long voyage. They stood at the taffrail looking over the dancing waves, longing for the sight of land. "It seems as if we would never get there, Father," said Fergus. "How long it is since we left home!" "And how far away Scotland seems," sighed his mother, as she took little Jean on her lap and stroked her fair hair. "But Australia is to be our home now," said Mr. Hume cheerfully. "See, there is the very first glimpse of it," and he pointed across the water to a dim line, as the look-out called "Land!" [more]
