« Je tiens Maupassant pour un de nos grands conteurs-nés, excellent écrivain, fabulateur ingénieux, incomparablement maître de son métier, sachant toujours se tenir aux frontières du réalisme et de la poésie, et qui a plusieurs fois prouvé magistralement qu’il possédait le sens tragique dans la vie quotidienne… » Roger Martin du Gard

About the author

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.

Working class porn version 1880s, chiant.

I read Maison Tellier and Une Partie de Campagne. I didn't like the first, but the second had very beautiful language, even if the story wasn't super interesting.
