The Log: Maupassant’s Tale of Greed and Hypocrisy

Today on Timeless Tales, we bring you Guy de Maupassant’s keenly observed short story, The Log. Beneath the seemingly ordinary dinner table conversation lies a biting satire of human greed and selfishness. With his trademark wit and unflinching realism, Maupassant invites us to witness a moment that reveals just how far people will go to protect their own interests—even over something as simple as a piece of firewood. Join us as we unravel this sharp, darkly humorous classic that exposes the moral contradictions of polite society.
