A gift book in a leather cover "Pierre and Jean" by Guy de Maupassant, in a case

The respectable family of old Roland, a rentier and an enthusiastic fisherman lives in the seaside town of Le Havre. Roland and his wife have two grown sons, Pierre and Jean, who are surprisingly different from each other. The eldest, Pierre, is dark, hot and touchy. The youngest, Jean, is a blond man with an even and calm character. Someone will say: Well, that's what happens to brothers. However, Jean's unexpected inheritance gives rise to suspicions that the difference between the brothers is not just an accident. Why did an old family friend leave all his considerable fortune to Jean, completely forgetting about Pierre?
