Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of Guy De Maupassant: The Window and Short Stories These are characteristic traits in Maupassant, and while he shares some of them with other writers of the school, in no one of the more prominent are they so highly developed as in him. His great mas ter, the man who made Maupassant the literary art ist he is - Gustave Flaubert - is not invariably de pressing; Emile Zola, foul, bestial and materialistic though he customarily is, rises at times to cleaner heights and stirs other than base thoughts; Alphonse Daudet, with his infinite sadness, scarcely ever fails to let a beam of his Provence sunshine break through the shadow; but Maupassant is infiexibly and unchangingly the abhorrer of man.

There he spent his days, and even, it was said, his nights. A hundred times, in the morning, he would go from his house which was quite near in the village, to his consultation-study fixed at the right-hand side facing the entrance to the thermal baths. Lying in wait there, like a spider in his web, he watched the comings and goings of the invalids, inspecting his own patients with a severe eye and those of the other doctors with a look of fury. He questioned everybody almost in the style of a ship's captain, and he struck terror into newcomers, un less it happened that he made them smile. As, on this day, he arrived with a rapid step, which made the big flaps of his old frock coat fly up like a pair of wings, he was stopped suddenly by a voice exclaim ing: Doctor!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selection From the Writings of Guy De Maupassant, Vol. 4 I was sound asleep when my skipper Bernard awoke me by throwing up sand at my window. I opened it, and or my face, on my chest, in my very soul, I felt the cold delicious breath of the night. The sky was a clear blue gray, and alive with the quivering fire of the stars. The sailor, standing at the foot of the wall, said: "Fine weather, sir." "What wind?" "Off shore." "Very well, I'm coming." Half an hour later I was hurrying down to the shore. The horizon was pale with the first rays of dawn, and I saw in the distance behind the Baie des Anges the lights at Nice, and still further on the revolving lighthouse at Villefranche.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Guy De Maupassant: Ten Short Stories The author of the present edition of selections from Mau passant has endeavored to improve on others already on the market in several particulars. In his linguistic notes he has made it a point, as far as pos sible, not only to give a translation of difficult phrases, but also to offer a rational explanation of them; see e.g. Note to p. 49, l. 20. In cases (like p. 50, l. 33) where the exact origin of the expression is not known, the best explanation which has been proposed is given.

This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Works of Guy de Maupassant, Volume 2 by Guy de Maupassant Little George was making hills of sand in one of the walks; he took it up with both his hands, made it into a pyramid, and then put a chestnut leaf on the top, and his father, sitting on an iron chair was looking at him with concentrated and affectionate attention, and saw nobody but him in that small public garden which was full of people. All along the circular road other children were occupied in the same manner, or else were indulging in childish games, while nursemaids were walking two and two, with their bright cap ribbons floating behind them, and carrying something wrapped up in lace, on their arms, and little girls in short petticoats and bare legs were talking seriously together, during the intervals of trundling their hoops.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of Guy De Maupassant: Translations and Critical and Interpretative Essays For thirty years she had lived in her little house, with its tiny garden running along the street; she had never changed her habits, only changing her ser vants pitilessly, as soon as they reached twenty-one years of age. When her dogs, cats and birds would die of old age or from an accident, she would replace them without tears and without regret; with a little spade, she would bury the dead animal in a strip of ground, throwing a few shovelfuls of earth over it and stamp ing it down with her feet, in an indifferent manner. She had a few friends in town, families of clerks who went to Paris every day. Once in a while she would be invited out, in the evening, for tea. She would inevitably fall asleep, and she would have to be awakened when it was time for her to go home. She never allowed anyone to accompany her, fearing neither light nor darkness. She did not appear to like children. She kept herself busy doing countless male tasks -carpentering, gardening, sawing or chopping wood, even laying bricks when it was necessary.
