Description Supposing Books Boule de Suif (21 contes)

Pendant l'hiver, 1870-71, durant la guerre franco-prussienne, la ville de Rouen (Normandie) est envahie par les Prussiens. Pour fuir l'occupation, dix personnes prennent la diligence de Dieppe : un couple de commerçants, un couple de bourgeois, un couple de nobles, deux religieuses, un démocrate et enfin Boule de suif. Le voyage s'annonce difficile, la diligence n'avance pas. Les voyageurs ont faim et seule la jeune femme a pensé à emporter des provisions, qu'elle partage généreusement. Les voyageurs font étape pour la nuit dans une auberge à Tôtes (sur le modèle de l'Auberge du cygne), occupée par les Prussiens. Le lendemain, ils ne peuvent pas partir, l'officier prussien exerce un chantage, Boule de suif doit coucher avec lui s'ils veulent repartir, mais elle refuse. Au début, tous sont outrés par le comportement du prussien, mais les jours passant et l'ennui s'installant, ils font pression sur Boule de suif qui finit par accepter. Le lendemain, les voyageurs ignorent Boule de suif qui, étant occupée, n'a pas pu faire de provisions alors que les autres avaient préparé leur déjeuner. Aucun d'eux ne donnera ne serait-ce qu'un petit morceau de pain à la jeune fille. L'histoire se termine sur Boule de suif en larmes.

Writers like Kafka or Chejov, were outlined for being big narrators of stories, but a long before these should gain completely his laureates' reputation, there was a writer who turned to the story in the most notable of all his works. Finally to be recognized as the maximum exponent; the father, the king of the story. With more than 300 writings, Guy de Maupassant founded this literary style. Showing that it must not be underestimated in the most minimal thing, but everything opposite. Ball of

Now that I've read my first collection of Maupassant stories, I can say that he is indeed a great writer, though being as prolific as he apparently was, I think you probably need to read a lot more to really be familiar with his work. He was a student of Flaubert, the French "realist" school, hence all these short stories being basically slice-of-life stories about (mostly) provincial French life. There are morals, sometimes, but rarely made explicit - in fact, often the stories just end, like

A collection of short stories with the crowning glory of Boule de Suif - 'dumpling' - my favourite. De Maupassant cuts straight to the heart of any matter, whether it be the hypocrisy of French aristocracy in the title story, or the heartbreak of characters stuck in the past such as in Minuet, an allegory for his contemporaries still clamouring for the return of monarchy. In addition, he manages to write in such a way that makes an afternoon pass in what seems like minutes. A must-read

It is hard to find the words to describe this novella. All I know is that it is Maupassant's first published work and it is a masterpiece. This book makes me feel angry at human nature.

It will disturb you, as it should, but read it.French audiobook via Audiolube.
