Boule de Suif and other stories

Guy de Maupassant is one of the greatest masters of short fiction. His short stories capture human desires, weaknesses and fears with extraordinary precision – whether set in luxurious salons, country pubs or the darkest corners of the human mind. This selection features the famous "Boule de Suif", the mysterious "The Horla", the gripping "The Jewel" and a host of other short stories, some of which have not been published in English for a long time or are appearing for the very first time. The collection includes tales of love and money, as well as stories on the borderline of horror and the supernatural.
