About the author

Guy de Maupassant

7,555 books3,064 followers
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a popular 19th-century French writer. He is one of the fathers of the modern short story. A protege of Flaubert, Maupassant's short stories are characterized by their economy of style and their efficient effortless dénouement. He also wrote six short novels. A number of his stories often denote the futility of war and the innocent civilians who get crushed in it - many are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s.

tout simplement du grand Maupassant ! ça commence par Boule de suif qui est la nouvelle la plus longue et puis ça s’enchaîne avec pleins d’autres nouvelles toutes aussi haletantes les unes que les autres. Certes, certaines sont plus intéressantes que d’autres mais le tout se lit très bien. La qualité de l’écriture nous plonge dans chaque mot et nous ferait presque oublier que ces nouvelles datent d’un autre temps …
