A Day in the Country and Other Stories EPUB
by Guy de Maupassant
Part of the Oxford World's Classics series
EPUB
Description
This selection of twenty-seven stories shows Maupassant at his comic, cruel, and brilliant best.
In addition to the poignant title story, it includes one of the most famous tales ever written, The Necklace , and Le Horla, an account of a disintegrating personality that chillingly parallels the author's own decline into madness.
All the stories demonstrate his genius for invention and his ability to write unblinkingly about the absurdity of the humancondition, supporting Henry James' claim that in the annals of story-telling, Maupassant stands `like a lion in the path'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
