Guy de Maupassant is a master of the short story. This collection reflection his remaskeble diversity, with stories that vary in theme and tone, and range from tragedy and stire to comedy and frace. With a simplicity of style that masks complex psilosphy, Mauspassant can illuminate an entire code of values by means of a few telling detailes. He exposes the brutalit of war and the hypoccrisy it spawns, and depicts te petty limitations, the dissimularions and the vanities inherent at diffrenet levels of societt. His stories are linked by a trenchant irony and by a preoccupation with the fraility of human nature and the futility of so many lives.
