Title : Boule de Suif and Other Stories - Guy De Maupassant - Book

Summary :

She felt drowned in the contempt of these honest scoundrels..."1870, the Prussians entered Rouen. Fleeing the war, a strange crew crammed into a stagecoach. Among the travelers was Boule de Suif, whose heart was as generous as his loose morals. But these were very weak weapons to combat class contempt and personal interests...No individual escaped Maupassant's criticism. Through each of his short stories, the author managed to capture, in a single stroke, the cruelty, selfishness and false conventions that governed relationships in 19th-century society. This collection brings together Boule de Suif, La Parure, Le Lit 29, Rose, La Serre, Une soirée, Le Vengeur, L'Attente and La Dowry.- Subject of study: To denounce the failings of society.
