About this listen

Guy de Maupassant is widely regarded as the father of the modern short story. As his 13 volumes of short stories attest, he was a prolific writer of this form. He had a simple, efficient style of writing and, like Anton Chekhov, found inspiration for his stories in the day-to-day lives of characters, in which their hidden natures are often revealed. Many of his works also centered on the Franco-Prussian War, in which he served.

Definitely not "Entire" collection

Incredibly, this collection of "entire original stories by Maupassant" does not include "The Horla," one of his most famous, one that has inspired numerous authors and adaptations. It does include the travelogue short story "The Trip of the Horla," which is entirely a different story.
