Guy de Maupassant, a prominent 19th-century French author, was celebrated for his expertise in the short story genre and his portrayal of naturalist themes. Influenced by Gustave Flaubert, he was known for his concise writing style and clever conclusions. His works often delved into the repercussions of the Franco-Prussian War on ordinary individuals, emphasizing the senselessness of conflict and its deep impact on people. Maupassant’s vast literary collection includes 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and a volume of poetry, with “Boule de Suif” standing out as a notable piece.
