Original Short Stories — Volume 07

"Original Short Stories — Volume 07" by Guy de Maupassant is a compilation of short stories that capture the essence of 19th-century life through tales of love, betrayal, and revenge. Readers are introduced to Monsieur Lantin, a man shattered by the death of his wife and haunted by her love for inexpensive jewelry, only to shockingly learn that her trinkets were real and his perception of her was false, setting the tone for a collection filled with revelations and the exploration of human motivations. Maupassant's narratives offer sharp insights into relationships, how society works, and the often hidden realities that lie beneath the surface of everyday life.
