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.
I did not enjoy the book so much because it was written in old French. Even tho I hated some stories, I loved some too, for example "Toine". The only thing I enjoyed about the book was that it was denouncing bad things in life for exemple racism or that you should not lie.
