Guy de Maupassant was a master of the short story. This collection displays his lively diversity, with tales that vary in theme and tone, ranging from tragedy and satire to comedy and farce. In a lucidly direct style, he provides unflinching realism and sceptical irony. He depicts the deceptions, hypocrisies and vanities at different levels of society. Prostitution is frankly described, while the harshness of war is deftly exposed. His tales have been televised and have influenced films, operas and rock music. Unillusioned but humane, Maupassant remains our contemporary.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: Keith Carabine (Series edited by), Cedric Watts (Introduction by)Genre: FictionBook Series: Wordsworth ClassicsTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 1997 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
