Guy de Maupassant is France’s leading novelist, a master of storytelling with an unexpected ending.
Hardly any other writer so sincerely believed that all good—and the very meaning of life—lies in a woman, in love… and hardly any writer ever showed with such clarity and precision all the terrible sides of that very phenomenon which seemed to him the highest and the greatest good life could offer.
Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Foreword to Guy de Maupassant’s works)
