  The Necklace

  Guy de Maupassant Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (5 August 1850 – 6 July 1893) was a popular 19th-century French writer who’s considered one of the fathers of the modern short story and one of the form's best at that. A protégé of Flaubert, Maupassant's stories are economical and efficient, with not a single word wasted. Many of the stories are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s and several describe the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught in the conflict, emerge changed. 
  Although he’s best known for his short stories, Maupassant also wrote six novels, including Bel-Ami, which chronicles journalist Georges Duroy's corrupt rise to power by manipulating a series of powerful, intelligent, and wealthy mistresses. In 2011, Bel Ami headed to the big screen, transformed into a movie starring Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman. 
  Maupassant’s The Necklace tells a short tale about a woman who misplaces a necklace, and the unfortunate results that take place because of it. This edition of Guy de Maupassant’s The Necklace is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Maupassant.

  The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Vol. 1

  Guy de Maupassant This is a philosophy of one kind or another behind the work of every artist. Simple one, sufficient for his needs as understood them, though perhaps really consequent upon his artistic methods, rather than at the root of them. It was the philosophy of cynicism: the most effectual means of limiting one's outlook, of concentrating all one's energies on the task in hand.

  Bel Ami

  Guy de Maupassant Bel-Ami est un roman réaliste de Guy de Maupassant publié en 1885 sous forme de feuilleton dans Gil Blas et dont l’action se déroule à Paris au xixe siècle, en pleine Révolution industrielle. Ce roman, retrace l’ascension sociale de Georges Duroy, homme ambitieux et séducteur (arriviste - opportuniste), employé au bureau des chemins de fer du Nord, parvenu au sommet de la pyramide sociale parisienne grâce à ses maîtresses et au journalisme. Sur fond de politique coloniale, Maupassant décrit les liens étroits entre le capitalisme, la politique, la presse mais aussi l’influence des femmes, privées de vie politique depuis le code Napoléon et qui œuvrent dans l’ombre pour éduquer et conseiller. Les thèmes sont éternels : le sexe, l’argent et le pouvoir. L’œuvre se présente comme une petite monographie de la presse parisienne dans la mesure où Maupassant fait implicitement part de son expérience de reporter. Ainsi l’ascension de Georges Duroy peut être une allégorie de la propre ascension de Maupassant.

  Contes du jour et de la nuit

  Guy de Maupassant Ces contes dosent en un mélange harmonieusement équilibré toutes les composantes de l'art de Guy de Maupassant. Ce sont d'abord les petites et grandes misères des humbles, à la ville ou à la campagne, contées sur le monde mineur, que nuance un sourire, parfois un rire moqueur, souvent un ricanement féroce. Ce sont aussi et surtout les récits qui tiennent en haleine le lecteur, ouvrant sous ses pas un gouffre insoupçonné. La Mort est présente, invisible parfois, mais tapie, et surgissant au détour d'une page. Récits venus des abîmes d'une âme en qui la grande errance a commencé, voici les Contes du jour et de la Nuit: contes en noir et blanc, où d'aveuglants éclairs zèbrent les profondeurs de la nuit.
