With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of
English, University of Sussex. Guy de Maupassant was a master of
the short story. This collection displays his lively diversity,
with tales that vary in theme and tone, ranging from tragedy and
satire to comedy and farce. In a lucidly direct style, he provides
unflinching realism and sceptical irony. He depicts the deceptions,
hypocrisies and vanities at different levels of society.
Prostitution is frankly described, while the harshness of war is
deftly exposed. His tales have been televised and have influenced
films, operas and rock music. Unillusioned but humane, Maupassant
remains our contemporary.
