"And he can send his old father and mother the money as usual, and thus morality is satisfied."
THE RELICTo the Abbé Louis d'Ennemare, at Soissons.
"My Dear Abbé:
"My marriage with your cousin is broken off in the stupidest manner, on account of a stupid trick which I almost involuntarily played my intended, in my embarrassment, and I turn to you, my old schoolfellow, for you may be able to help me out of the difficulty. If you can, I shall be grateful to you until I die.
"You know Gilberte, or rather you think you know her, for do we ever understand women? All their opinions, their ideas, their creeds, are a surprise to us. They are all full of twists and turns, of the unforeseen, of unintelligible arguments, or defective logic and of obstinate ideas, which seem final, but which they alter because a little bird came and perched on the window ledge.

He definitely has a way with words and a style that I can appreciate. Beautiful imagery, a ghastly approach to the horrors of reality, a quirky and disgusting humor.
This was an utter slog to get through. Parts were shocking, parts were hilarious, parts were quite sad.
The whole was unpleasant.
I came across "The Jewelry" in my literature class. I guess it's not one of Maupassant's more famous short stories, but for me reading this piece of his writing with a well-crafted narrative is entertaining.
Though regarded as a great short story writer, I found his stories disappointing and uninspiring. I prefer O'Henry
Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) in translation comes across as a competent short story writer and a keen observer of the French society of his time, with a wide variety of subject matter: horror stories, love stories and what could be termed social naturalism or stories on social mores.
I would recomme
In my mind, the greatest short story writer ever....more
Dark, mysterious and often disturbing! GREAT stuff
It is true that these were read when I was about 12 years old , and only because my mother said to me `` these are too heavy for you do not read them``. It was the moment she left that I started reading them.
They were intriguing and I enjoyed the romantic part but generally neither BelAmi nor Le Ma
