Summary
Guy de Maupassant, French master of the short story, had a simple, efficient style of writing and, like Anton Chekhov, found inspiration for his stories in the daily lives of humans, which often reveal our darker nature. Many of his works also centered on the Franco-Prussian War, in which he served.
Volume V of his Complete Original Short Stories contains the following:
- "Monsieur Parent"
- "Queen Hortense"
- "Timbuctoo"
- "Tombstones"
- "Mademoiselle Pearl"
- "The Thief"
- "Clair de Lune"
- "Waiter, a 'Bock'"
- "After"
- "Forgiveness"
- "In the Spring"
- "A Queer Night in Paris"
