Summary

** "Complete Original Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of short stories offering biting glimpses into the complexities of humanity within a 19th-century world marked by social inequality and the shadow of conflict. Opening with an introduction to the acclaimed author's life and career, the anthology quickly moves into tales that explore moral challenges and class tensions. "Boule de Suif," kicks off the collection, plunging readers into the Franco-Prussian War as travelers, trapped by a snowstorm, confront difficult choices and reveal their prejudices against a prostitute in their midst. Through vivid storytelling, the work exposes hypocrisy illustrating the impact of societal pressures on individual actions. **
