Suet Balls
About This Novel
This book is a collection of novels by the French writer Maupassant, who is known as the "master of short stories". It is named after his representative work "Ball of Suif" and includes famous works such as "The Necklace", "Miss Wenwen", "My Uncle Jules", and "All in the Family". "Ball of Suet" is his famous work and one of his masterpieces. The story uses the tragic experience of Ball of Suif to reflect the ugly and dirty soul under capitalism. Hidden beneath their hypocritical masks are rotten entrails and filthy thoughts.

I was attracted to it after learning about my uncle Jüle in a textbook. It's so beautiful and thought-provoking!
[Publishing Topic] Face and Heart--[Ball of Suet]
[Ball of Suif] tells the story of a prostitute named Ball of Suif and three aristocratic couples on a fleeing carriage. This story leads us to think, what kind of person can be called a noble person? Is a noble person related to his identity, status, and career? The answer is obvious. A person with a noble soul should have the country in his heart, be grateful, and know how to share. Ball of Suif in the book is such a person. Although she has a humble status and although she knows that some people are talking about her behind her back, she still chooses to lend a helping hand when those who talk about her need help. On the other hand, those ladies of noble birth can force others to do things they don't want to do for their own selfish interests. They put their own interests first in their hearts. Such a comparison clearly shows how superior they are. What kind of person can be called a noble person? I think this question is worth thinking about for all of us!
I saw this book in the library when I was in junior high school. The prostitute just wanted to save everyone, but what she didn't expect was that people began to hate her after that night. A person's good or evil may change in an instant.
Give me a girl like Ball of Suif and let us stay together for the rest of our lives
The author uses the unfortunate experience of the prostitute named Ball of Suif to contrast the ugly face of the bourgeoisie who sacrifices fellow countrymen for the sake of favorable value. He perfectly criticizes this decadent and dark social phenomenon and arouses indignation. I highly recommend this masterpiece, it's really good!

I like the works of Maupassant and Mark Twain the most. They deeply satirize the darkness, hypocrisy, cruelty, and even perversion of society. They are very realistic. I feel that I can see what kind of people they are from their works. To be honest, they are much better than some unrealistic novels, and they are worth reading. (Personal opinion, I will not accept any refutation.)
Those so-called high-level people are actually worse than Ball of Suet.

"The nature of lovers and drunkards is similar. Those who have drunk will drink again, and those who have loved will love again."
The "King of Short Stories" Maupassant really lived up to his title! Really awesome! Maupassant, I respect you!
At first I thought suet balls were something to eat

[Complete of the Masterpiece] It was written by Maupassant. I bought the physical book. After reading it, I was very moved. It took me two days to write a long review.
Even in the darkness of reality, a noble soul will still shine.
