Two years have passed since the night Adrian Billard found baby Abigail left on his front steps. Unlike any child he had ever seen, Adrian devoted his life to protecting Abigail.

Dans une petite ville de province, la maison close de Madame Tellier est un monde à part: un lieu de passages et de confidences, où se mêlent rires, routines et pudeurs. Maupassant y observe, avec une précision tour à tour tendre et cruelle, la comédie des convenances et les fragilités cachées. Derrière les portes closes, l’humanité se dévoile: solitude, désir, charité, orgueil. Nouvelle brève et incisive, La Maison Tellier trace le portrait d’un établissement et de ses habitantes, ainsi que du regard que la ville pose sur elles.

À la fin du XIXème siècle, dans le Jura Suisse, un pasteur marié recueille une orpheline dont la seule famille vient de mourir.

Publié au début du XXe siècle, ce recueil de nouvelles entraîne l’auditeur aux confins de l’âme, là où le deuil, la culpabilité et les souvenirs obsédants creusent des abîmes. Maurice Level y compose de brèves scènes tendues où un mot, un geste, un silence suffisent à faire vaciller les certitudes. Chaque récit s’attache moins aux visions qu’aux traces qu’elles laissent, révélant l’enfer intime qui ronge les vivants.
