More Context: This is typical Maupassant. It deals with an out-of-the-ordinary event in the very ordinary lives of his characters, narrated in the first-person. The narrator is plain-spoken and simple but the other characters are profound and complicated.

Story Genres: American fiction, Modern humor, Satire, Moralism

Famous stories by Guy De Maupassant:

  • "The Necklace"
  • "Boule de suif" (Bowl of Soup)
  • "Useless beauty"

And many others.
