Synopsis
Guy de Maupassant’s short fiction is noted for realistic character writing set against precisely observed backgrounds, shaped by an objective, universal outlook. This selection brings together seven of his best-known tales, reflecting his familiarity with Paris and the provinces during the Belle Époque, alongside a distinctly non-judgemental humanism.
Each story is printed in French with a new word-for-word English translation on the facing page, making the volume a practical resource for students working in either language, as well as for readers who value Maupassant’s concise, rigorous style.
