The piece first appeared in the French newspaper, <em>le Gaulois<\/em> on February 17, 1884, and was then published as part of a collection of short stories, <em>Contes du Jour et de la Nuit<\/em> in&nbsp;1885.<\/p>\n<p>This title is presented in its original language, French. Designed to be phone-friendly, this edition is ready for on-the-go reading.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Henri Ren\u00e9 Albert Guy de Maupassant (August 5, 1850 &#8211; July 6, 1893) was a prolific 19<sup>th<\/sup>-century French author, remembered as a master of the short story form. His style was representative of the Naturalist school, which depicted human lives, destinies, and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms. Born in Normandy, he fought in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, an experience which served as dark inspiration for many of his titles. He had his first literary success with the publication of his short story \u201cBoule de Suif\u201d in <em>Les Soir\u00e9es de M\u00e9dan<\/em>, a collection of six short stories by different writers of the naturalist tradition. Following this recognition, Maupassant\u2019s writing appeared in a number of magazines and newspapers, such as <em>Le Figaro<\/em>, <em>Le Gaulois<\/em>, and <em>l\u2019Echo de Paris<\/em>. He also published several novels, notably <em>Bel Ami<\/em> in 1885. In 1877, however, Maupassant contracted syphilis, causing him increasing pain and suffering. As a result, his mental health also deteriorated and he died in a sanitorium in 1893, just short of his 43<sup>rd<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col02 sidebarContent\"><div
