About the book

This collection brings together short fiction by Guy de Maupassant, one of the masters of the nineteenth-century short story. His tales portray French life across social classes, from Parisian society to rural Normandy, often focusing on love, war, greed, vanity, poverty and chance. Maupassant's economical style, sharp observation and frequent irony reveal both the comedy and cruelty of ordinary human behaviour.
