"Mme Oreille était économe. Elle savait la valeur d'un sou et possédait un arsenal de principes sévères sur la multiplication de l'argent. Sa bonne, assurément, avait grand mal à faire danser l'anse du panier ; et M. Oreille n'obtenait sa monnaie de poche qu'avec une extrême difficulté. Ils étaient à leur aise pourtant, et sans enfants ; mais Mme Oreille éprouvait une vraie douleur à voir les pièces blanches sortir de chez elle."

À dix-sept ans, radieuse, prête à toutes les joies, à tous les hasards, Jeanne quitte enfin le couvent. Dans le désœuvrement des jours et la solitude des espérances, de tous ses rêves, le plus impatient est celui de l'amour... Oh ! Elle en sait des choses sur le frémissement des cœurs, l'élan des âmes. Elle les a si souvent pressentis, espérés, ces bonheurs-là. Aussi, lorsqu'il paraît, le reconnaît-elle sans peine. L'être créé pour elle...

Guy de Maupassant is widely regarded as the father of the modern short story. As his 13 volumes of short stories attest, he was a prolific writer of this form. He had a simple, efficient style of writing and, like Anton Chekhov, found inspiration for his stories in the day-to-day lives of characters, in which their hidden natures are often revealed. Many of his works also centered on the Franco-Prussian War, in which he served.

Parfois des scènes de la vie de tous les jours ou des faits divers, de petits tableaux saisis dans le vif où s’agitent des personnages ordinaires ou extraordinaires, tendres ou sordides, mesquins ou généreux, cruels ou malheureux, victimes ou bourreaux... Parricides, ivrognes, enfants pervers, maris aveugles, ravissantes idiotes, bourgeois lâches et mesquins, paysans cruels et cupides...

Maupassant reste un auteur majeur de la littérature française dont l'influence ne s'est jamais démentie. Les nouvelles sont autant de tableaux de mœurs, vivants témoignages intemporels des hommes, des femmes, de leurs vies et de leurs tourments, de leurs passions et de leurs travers.

"On allait là, chaque soir, vers onze heures, comme au café, simplement. Ils s'y retrouvaient à six ou huit, toujours les mêmes, non pas des noceurs, mais des hommes honorables, des commerçants, des jeunes gens de la ville ; et l'on prenait sa chartreuse en lutinant quelque peu les filles, ou bien on causait sérieusement avec Madame, que tout le monde respectait. Puis on rentrait se coucher avant minuit. Les jeunes gens quelquefois restaient."

The world-class writers featured in this collection are adept at conjuring the depth of passion that surrounds all stories of love and loss. The short story form is perfect for capturing the uplift and dizzying heights that accompany a new object of affection, as well as the queasy unease and bottomless longing of lost loves.

Guy de Maupassant today remains among France's renowned short story masters. He excels at recounting the banal daily lives of Frenchmen, which yet reveal deep moral truths. The first of these three classic tales is Boule de Suif, which relates the desperate attempts of several French citizens intent on escaping the rule of invading Prussian forces. The coach heading for Havre is conveying people of varying classes—nobility, rich and merchant—to a woman of comfort, whose heart and dignity prove larger than any of her fellow passengers'.

French literature may be said to begin with the ninth century "Song of Roland," and it has since then churned out masterpiece after masterpiece in every century right up to the present. Beginning with Balzac and Dumas in the early part of the nineteenth century and proceeding to Sartre and Camus at the midpoint of the twentieth, the stories in this collection showcase the talents of some of the greatest French masters of the short story.

Es sieht aus, als ob er Recht behalten würde. Das Phantom Horla scheint es nicht nur auf die Wasserflasche am Bett und seine Lebensenergie abgesehen zu haben, sondern bestimmt zunehmend seine ganze Existenz. Bis er nur noch einen fatalen Ausweg sieht.

A vague jealousy, one of those dormant jealousies which grow up between brothers or sisters and slowly ripen till they burst, on the occasion of a marriage perhaps, or of some good fortune happening to one of them, kept them on the alert in a sort of brotherly and non-aggressive animosity. They were fond of each other, it is true, but they watched each other. Pierre, five years old when Jean was born, had looked with the eyes of a little petted animal at that other little animal which had suddenly come to lie in his father's and mother's arms and to be loved and fondled by them.

"Mon Dieu ! Mon Dieu ! Je vais donc écrire enfin ce qui m'est arrivé ! Mais le pourrai-je ? l'oserai-je ? cela est si bizarre, si inexplicable, si incompréhensible, si fou ! Si je n'étais sûr de ce que j'ai vu, sûr qu'il n'y a eu, dans mes raisonnements, aucune défaillance, aucune erreur dans mes constatations, pas de lacune dans la suite inflexible de mes observations, je me croirais un simple halluciné, le jouet d'une étrange vision. Après tout, qui sait ?"

“The Piece of String” by Guy de Maupassant is a timeless short story from 1883 that captures the tension between appearance and truth in a small French village. With sharp irony and emotional depth, Maupassant explores how pride, suspicion, and social perception can shape a man’s fate. Originally published in the collection Miss Harriet, this classic work of French literature is a compelling reflection on human nature, reputation, and the power of rumor.

Boule de Suif (1880) is a short story by the late-19th century French writer Guy de Maupassant. It is arguably his most famous short story, and is the title story for his collection on the Franco-Prussian War, entitled "Boule de Suif et Autres Contes de la Guerre" ("Boule de Suif and Other Stories of the War"). John Ford said that his film Stagecoach was in many ways a western rewrite of Boule de Suif.
