About the author

Guy de Maupassant

1850–1893

Best known for sharp, unsettling stories like "Boule de Suif" and "The Necklace," this French master of the short story had a gift for turning everyday life into something surprising, ironic, or quietly haunting. His writing is clear, vivid, and still feels strikingly modern.
