Overview of The Very Best of Guy De Maupassant: Short Stories Book

Guy de Maupassant was a prolific writer of short stories. He has articulately painted a fascinating picture of French life in the 19th century through his writings. He made his debut as a poet and later, went on write 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books and one volume of verse. Maupassant was a passionate lover of the sea and rivers, which accounts for the setting of much of his fiction and the prevalence in it of nautical imagery. He presents his characters dispassionately, foregoing any personal moral judgment on them but always noting the word, the gesture or even the reticence that betrays each one s essential personality, all the while enhancing the effect by describing the physical and social background against which his characters move. Concision, vigour and the most rigorous economy are the characteristics of his art. This collection includes Guy de Maupassant's masterpiece Boule de Suif and his other famous stories like the Necklace, a Piece of String, Mademoiselle Fifi, Miss Harriet, My Uncle Jules, Found on a Drowned Man and the Wreck.
