Passion. Stories

The brilliant writing talent of Guy de Maupassant is palpable in both his novels and the shortest stories. He not only described external events and the movements of the human soul in moments of utmost happiness or trials, but also explored the mystical nature of Evil, the frequent illogicality and inexplicability of human actions. Each story by Maupassant is a precise sketch from nature, a scene from life, a colorful image of a man or woman, youth or the elderly, the poor or the inhabitants of high society.
