Collected Stories of Guy de Maupassant
By:Guy de Maupassant,Richard Fusco
Published on 2008-09-01 by Barnes & Noble
Guy de Maupassant is one of the few writers whose short stories--witty, economical, elegant, yet straightforward in style--are so forceful that his literary reputation can rest on them alone. Beneath their deceptively simple surfaces lies a deep understanding of the complexities of the human psyche. Maupassant explores the full panoply of late-nineteenth-century French society, from prostitutes in Parisian brothels and peasants in rural cottages, to adulterous aristocrats at expensive spas and patrician parties. This collection begins with |Ball-of-Fat,| the first story Maupassant published under his own name. Called a masterpiece by his friend and mentor Gustave Flaubert, it instantly raised the young author to celebrity status and created a clamor for more of his work. He responded with over three hundred stories (and six novels) written in a dozen years. Among others included here are the favorites |The Necklace,| |The Horla,| |The False Gems,| and |Useless Beauty.|
