This book is great! Maupassant's short stories are really wonderful, especially "The Necklace", which made me feel the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of fate. In the story, the heroine spent ten years of her youth for a necklace, which is embarrassing. This book made me understand that people should cherish the happiness in front of them and not blindly pursue vanity. And every article in the book is very enlightening and worth reading again and again.

The book is good, I want to know when the author will update it [laughing]

Each short story is short in length but makes people think deeply. It can be seen that the author has rich experience and excellent writing style. He can convey thought-provoking connotations through stories written in simple words. This is what I gained from reading short story collections.

Every short story in the book is the truest expression of human nature. Ball of Suif sacrificed himself for everyone, but received everyone's disgust; my uncle Jules was worthless, and his family relationship had no trace of true love; the necklace revealed the price that should be paid for vanity; the protagonist in the walk finally ended his life because he had no pursuit of life...

I would like to see an analysis of "Ball of Suet"

The author's depiction of human nature is nuanced, and the story is also very thought-provoking. It is worthy of being called a masterpiece.

Maupassant is worth it. I hope that one day I can really understand it. The writing style is a bit gentle, the picture is strong, the scenery is beautiful, and it really makes people think deeply.

This book tells readers vivid and thought-provoking stories from different perspectives. The reaction to social phenomena, the exposure of human shortcomings, and the narration of stories about the devastation caused by national wars are what fascinates me the most about this book.

It's really amazing. It's not only close to our lives, but also expresses human nature vividly.

There are 1,000 Hamlets for 1,000 readers. The understanding is different, the emotion is the same. Good and evil of human nature

I had learned some of Maupassant's short stories when I was in school, and this was the first time I read them in earnest. The first story "The Walk" impacted my heart.

He is worthy of being a master of short novels. Every story is very interesting and has an unexpected ending.

Nice, let's see if we can

Very vivid description

Well written! Humanity revealed!

Very philosophical.

Good works always require more time to guess the author's intention. Forgive me that my skills are not enough, so I can only appreciate a small part.

It's good to read the little stories one by one

The description is very vivid, as if recreating the history of the Franco-Prussian War before your eyes

Each story is very philosophical and triggers thinking about various human natures.

Very good author. Every story is written with great detail. The endings of some stories are left to the readers to guess. Quite interesting.
