Guy de Maupassant
(5 August 1850 – 6
July 1893) was a popular French writer, considered one of the fathers of the modern short story
and one of the form's finest exponents. Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert and his stories are
characterized by economy of style and efficient,
effortless dénouements (outcomes). Many are set
during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870's,
describing the futility of war and the innocent
civilians who, caught up in events beyond their control, are
permanently changed by their experiences. He wrote some 300
short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one volume of
verse. His first published story, "Boule de Suif" ("Ball of Fat",
1880), is often considered his masterpiece.
