Immerse yourself in 1870s France with 'Boule de Suif', a collection of stories by master Guy de Maupassant. In the context of the Prussian invasion, we accompany a diverse group of characters fleeing Rouen by stagecoach. Among them, a young woman of loose morals, named Boule de Suif, whose patriotism and good heart contrast with the hypocrisy and selfishness of her fellow travelers. Through incisive prose and keen social observation, Maupassant presents us with a gallery of unforgettable characters and invites us to reflect on human nature in times of war and adversity. This Librio edition offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy Maupassant's classic stories in their original language.
