Boule de Suif / Pushy

The heroes of Guy de Maupassant's (1850-1893) novellas, included in the collection, are diverse: they include the easy-going girl Élisabeth Rousset, who turns out to be much more decent than her respectable fellow travelers, and Papa Millon, who avenged the Prussians for his son's death, as well as bored bourgeois and enterprising young women.
We present to readers the unadapted text of the novellas with comments and a dictionary.
