Ги де Мопассан. Собрание сочинений в 12 томах. Том 2

During his short creative life, Maupassant created six novels, more than three hundred stories, three books of travel essays and a huge number of literary and journalistic articles. In addition, in the early period of his work, he wrote poetry and plays for the theater. A whistleblower of the reactionary regime of the Third Republic, Maupassant reflected in his works the life of various social strata of French society. He wrote about peasants and bourgeois, about officials and military men, about people of the so-called “high society”. The second volume of the collected works of Guy de Maupassant contains a number of stories, including Woodcock's Tales, Moonlight and Miss Harriet.
