About This Novel
In the literary history of France and the world, Maupassant, a 19th-century French writer, is not only famous for his novels, but also for his short and medium-sized novels, with more than 300 pieces in total, and is known as the "King of Short Stories". "The Complete Collection of Maupassant's Novellas and Short Stories" consists of five volumes. These short and medium-sized novels reflect the breadth of materials, covering all aspects of French social life at that time, allowing readers to have a glimpse of the master's superb artistic skills. The fifth volume includes "Papa Milon", "Ball de Suif", "A Parisian's Sunday" and several unpublished short stories by Maupassant. The last volume contains Maupassant's most famous novella "Ball de Suif". This story affirms Ball-of-Fat's patriotism and self-sacrifice, and satirizes the fact that the upper-class characters appear to be noble and dignified, but their inner qualities are very selfish and shameless, and their moral standards are actually far inferior to those of the poor at the bottom. Flaubert called it "a masterpiece that can be passed down to the world."
