Afloat by Maupassant reviewed in English translation
Afloat translates Maupassant’s Mediterranean yacht diary into English. The reviewer notes the author’s pessimistic reflections on humanity, with vivid episodes such as a diphtheria-stricken peasant family and a tragic woman who discovers her husband’s longtime mistress. The translator Laura Ensor preserves Maupassant’s classical prose while the journal’s nautical setting frames deeper social commentary.
