About the book

This collection brings together short stories by Guy de Maupassant, one of the great masters of nineteenth-century short fiction. The title story, The Necklace, follows a woman whose desire for social elegance leads to a devastating misunderstanding and one of literature's most famous ironic endings. Throughout the collection, Maupassant writes with economy and psychological insight about ambition, vanity, love, class and the unpredictability of human fortune.
