📱 eBook en inglés BERTHA

Laying the foundations for films, such as One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, starring Jack Nicholson, Bertha is a study on mental illness.

While the narrator visits his old friend, Dr Bonnet, the doctor asks him to wait while he visits a patient. The patient is Bertha, a woman who was once young and beautiful but with no way of communicating with the outside world.

Rightly or wrongly, Dr Bonnet subjects her to a series of experiments before her family decides theres an answer to her problems.

A haunting and tragic short story from the pen of one of the fathers of the genre, Bertha is the perfect introduction to Guy de Maupassants authorship.
