Guy de Maupassant was a French writer of the second half of the 19th century, a representative of literary realism and naturalism along with Émile Zola and Gustave Flaubert. His six novels and several collections of short stories deserve attention for their power of realism, fantastical elements and pessimism, but also for their stylistic art. Maupassant's real literary career is defined by a mere decade – he worked between 1880 and 1890. He was recognized during his lifetime and even today he is perceived as a giant of French literature, whose work is still being interpreted and adapted.
