内容简介 在线阅读本书
Set in the nouveau riche Paris of society women, prostitutes, and playboys; in the Normandy countryside; and on the French Riviera where Maupassant had lived, the thirty-four short stories in this volume are among the most darkly humorous and brilliant in French literature. They focus on the complexity of close relationships: between lovers, as in the poignant fantasy “A Parisian Affair” or the touchingly ironical “The Jewels”; between siblings, as in “At Sea”; and between former partners, as in “Encounter.” They reveal two sides of human nature: its grace and generosity and also, as in “Boule de Suif,” its greed and hypocrisy. Piquant and varied, Maupassant’s stories lay humanity bare with deft wit and devastating honesty.
作者简介 Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893) was a literary disciple of Flaubert and one of the group of young naturalistic writers that formed around Zola. In addition to short stories, he wrote six novels.
Siân Miles teaches at Warwick University and has translated works by George Sand and Paul Valéry.
