Title : Tales of the Woodcock - Guy de Maupassant - book
Summary :
A lover of hunting and stories, Baron des Ravots organizes dinners whose highlight is the "woodcock tale ceremony." The one it designates wins the privilege of eating all the woodcock heads, after which he is required to fulfill a story for the pleasure of the other participants. In the gaiety and conviviality of a hunting meal, seventeen short stories emerge, painting portraits of country people, sometimes with singular cruelty. Ironic, pessimistic, and always remarkably realistic, the Tales of the Woodcock revive Maupassant's predilection for bitter and willingly mocking peasant dramas.
