This selection of twenty-seven stories in a lively new translation shows Maupassant as his comic, cruel, and brilliant best. In addition to the poignant title story, it includes one of the most famous tales ever written, The Necklace , and Le Horla, an account of a disintegrating personality that chillingly parallels the author's own decline into madness.

Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant was a French writer known for his masterpiece "The Necklace," a tale of vanity and consequence. His minimalist writing style and vivid characterizations revolutionized the short story genre, influencing writers like Anton Chekhov. Maupassant's exploration of human nature and social class remain timeless contributions to literature.
