About This Novel
This book selects more than thirty excellent short stories by the famous French writer Maupassant. It includes all of Maupassant's classic masterpieces, including "Ball of Suif", "Two Friends" and "The Adventures of Walter Schnaffs", which accuse the Franco-Prussian War; "My Uncle Jules", "The Necklace" and "The Medal", which express the petty bourgeoisie; "Daliet Spring", "Pierrot the Dog" and "The Rope" which describe life in Normandy; the tear-jerking love tragedy "The Woman Repairing the Upholstered Chair"; the heartstring-tugging "Moonlight", etc. Maupassant raised the art of short stories to an unprecedented level. His works mostly focus on daily life, are less dramatic, downplay the plot, and only use almost invisible clues to connect various small things. The character description is also close to normal, and the person's behavior, expression, etc. Are used to show his image and personality. It expresses rich life content in a short space.
