Description : The Best of Short Stories is a classic book from Guy de Maupassant, who was a prolific writer of short stories. His stories articulately paint a fascinating picture of French life in the 19th century. He made his debut as a poet and later went on write 300 short stories, six novels and three travel books. The author was fond of the sea and rivers, which is evident from the settings of much of his fiction and the prevalence of nautical imagery. The presentation of his characters was dispassionate, foregoing any personal moral judgment on them, but he always noted the word, the gesture, or even the reticence that betrays each ones essential personality. Concision, vigour and the most rigorous economy are the characteristics of his art. This collection includes Guy de Maupassant's masterpiece Boule de Suif and his other famous stories like The Necklace, A Piece of String, Mademoiselle Fs 1, Miss Harriet, My Uncle Jules, Found on a Drowned Man and The Wreck. A great book for short stories fans!
