Day in the Country and Other Stories

This selection of twenty-seven stories in a lively new translation shows Maupassant as 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.

Aceasta selectie de douazeci si sapte de povesti intr-o traducere noua si plina de viata il arata pe Maupassant drept cel mai bun comic, crud si genial al sau. Pe langa povestea emotionanta a titlului, include una dintre cele mai faimoase povesti scrise vreodata, Colierul si Le Horla, o relatare a unei personalitati care se dezintegra, care se aseamana infricosator cu propriul declin al autorului in nebunie.
