About This Novel
This book is composed of 29 Maupassant classics selected by the famous French literature translator Liu Mingjiu, including "Ball of Suet", "The Necklace", "On the Journey", "My Uncle Jules", "The Burning Umbrella" and other popular masterpieces. The themes that Maupassant was good at were the Franco-Prussian War that he personally experienced, his ten-year clerkship career, and his life in his hometown in Normandy as a teenager. These three environments provided extremely rich themes for his short stories. From rural stories, market life to deep accusations of war, it outlines a vivid picture of French social life. Images of aristocrats, bureaucrats, merchants, civil servants, workers, farmers, homeless people, beggars and other characters all appear on the page.
