A Parisian Bourgeois' Sundays and Other Stories by Guy De Maupassant
A collection of stories by one of France's greatest short-story writers--the long title piece never having been available in English before.Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a prominent nineteenth-century French writer who is regarded as one of the fathers of the contemporary short story as well as one of the best exponents of the form. Many of the stories are set during the 1870s Franco-Prussian War, and several of them depict the futility of war and the innocent bystanders who become changed as a result of the struggle. He wrote over 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one collection of poetry.
