22 Classic ...

This book is a collection of stories, new ... I would say that this is advantage of invented stories by Maupassant ... Every story inspired by characters more or less close to the author highlights the human being with his qualities and especially his flaws ... The stupidity, jealousy, madness, greed, longing, fear, stupidity, gullibility, greed, greed, remorse, the wickedness, cruelty ... These themes over the stories.

And love, unspoken love, not in "The Rempailleuse"; the one true love in "The Testament".

Maupassant had to be tormented much to write these stories ...

Too bad this book is often studied, being at the age of 13. At this age it is difficult to understand the deeper meaning of the texts.

To read once in his life.
