About The Book 

It is in the Paris of the end of the XIX E century that the author of Horla takes us here , in the capital of the pleasures and the meetings where intimate dramas are tied: fatal passions, disappointed hopes, joyful adventures which, suddenly, turn to tragedy. With an uncompromising realism tempered by the tender and poetic images of the “City of Light”, Maupassant, without ever taking sides, in these short stories evokes women and men caught in the nets of a life rarely controlled.
