Admired as "the greatest French short story writer," and emulated by Somerset Maugham and O
Henry, Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a master of plot construction and a keen recorder of life, translating his observations into finely crafted short stories that spoke entire volumes.This edition features twelve of de Maupassant's best-known stories, each reflecting the author's keen, compassionate insights into human behavior.
