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.

[Gazelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

I started to read it stories ever since I was a little kid, and as I grew older I read them again and again. I realized later that some of them had had kind of a deep influence on my life without me noticing. (And I guess that actually is one of the many beauties of literature)
