- Summary:
- This is a new collection of stories by one of France's greatest short-story writers. The long title piece ("Les dimanches d'un bourgeois de Paris") is an early work unpublished during Maupassant's lifetime and never before translated into English. It has the author's characteristic freshness, humor, and insight and is accompanied by other stories and articles previously unavailable in English, as well as authoritative new translations of pieces long out of print.
