During his most productive decade, the 1880s, Maupassant wrote more than 300 stories, including `Boule de Suif`, `The Necklace`, `The House of Madame Tellier`, `The Hand`, `The Horla` and `Mademoiselle Fifi`. Marked by the psychological realism that he famously pioneered, the tales in this selection lead us on a tour of the human experience-lust and love, revenge and ridicule, terror and madness. Many take place in the author`s native Normandy, but the settings range farther abroad as well, from Brittany and Paris to Corsica and the Mediterranean coast, and even to North Africa and India. Maupassant`s remarkable range and ability to evoke an entire world in a few pages have ensured that his fiction has retained its power to entertain through generations of readers. Marjorie Laurie`s accomplished translations from the 1920s have similarly stood the test of time.
