Selected Short Stories by Maupassant

At that time, when I first started reading this book, I felt that Mr. Maupassant showed human nature in an exaggerated way. Until I encountered the article "The Old Man" written by Maupassant in the exam room a few days ago, my idea was further confirmed. , But just in time for the busy farming season, the daughter and son-in-law hoped that he would die soon because their farm work was not finished yet. In order not to delay the busy farming work, they even wanted to bury him like this. The village chief also acquiesced to this behavior. Villagers had done this before. The article did not show that they abused or hated their father. There was a fundamental reason for this, because they were poor. This seemed not too difficult to understand, and everything was so real. I also discovered a problem. When I read this book, I like to bring in the society I live in, so that it will cover up many things. It is like looking through a layer of fog, unable to see through. In fact, I would like to read it again if I have time.

The reason why a classic is a classic proves that it contains a vast and profound meaning. It feels mellow when you first read it, and it feels long-lasting when you read it again. Reading it again makes people think deeply. The works in One World can't even score 9 points on Tomato [embarrassing laugh]

Maupassant is a world-famous writer! The King of Short Stories! The necklace, the ball of suet, my uncle Jules, are all very, very outstanding masterpieces! However, it is impossible for all of them to be high-quality works. There are also some works that are not top-notch. Maupassant's novel is indeed bitterly satirical! The most famous suet balls, necklaces, my uncle Jules, jewelry. They are all world-renowned pinnacle works of literature!

His portrayal of the characters is so delicate, just like the selfish and shameless descriptions of the superior people in the book, which are simply penetrating. I particularly like the character of Ball of Suif, her kindness and courage are touching. As for the annoying characters, those Prussian officers are really annoying. The description in this book is meticulous and makes people feel like they are actually there. It is worth reading!

I don't deserve it, because I still don't understand why Maupassant is called the king of short stories. When I understand, maybe I will say that I deserve it. The closed loop is waiting for me in the future.

His articles piece together the appearance of the lower class at the turn of modernization, which is endlessly memorable.

After reading many articles, I stopped for a while and read "Slayer of Gods", and then continued to read the remaining articles. Maupassant's novels are indeed intriguing and full of irony. Many of them appear in textbooks or are famous stories passed down by word of mouth. Maupassant, one of the "three great masters of short stories in the world", is not unworthy of his reputation. Of course, I didn't get the points that I wanted to express in several of the articles at once. I had to use AI to understand them. This is why I only gave them four stars. If you are also curious about the books of the three great masters, you are welcome to taste them. After all, my opinions are always just my opinions. You won't know what they taste like if you don't "taste" them yourself.
