Prostitutes in the Cemetery and Others (maupassant Short Stories Collection 3)
About This Novel
"The Whore in the Cemetery" is a short story written by Maupassant, a famous French critical realist writer in the 19th century, which reflects the life of French prostitutes at that time. The article describes a clever prostitute who suddenly goes to the cemetery to seduce men who are depressed because they have lost a woman, mistress or wife and long for the caress of the past. She relies on the nostalgia revived in the cemetery to make profits. "The Whore in the Cemetery" makes us clearly see that those noble thoughts, feelings and moral qualities have gradually become vulgar in some people, so that they have completely disappeared. The image of the prostitute created by Maupassant vividly expresses his appeal for the noble moral character of mankind.
