Guy de Maupassant

    August 5, 1850 – July 6, 1893

    Guy de Maupassant was a pivotal figure in 19th-century French literature, recognized as one of the fathers of the modern short story. Under the tutelage of Gustave Flaubert, Maupassant's works are defined by their economy of style and masterful, effortless denouements. His stories frequently explore the futility of war and the innocent civilians caught within its destructive path, many set during the Franco-Prussian War. Maupassant's legacy lies in his profound ability to capture the complexities of human experience through concise and insightful narratives.
