About this book

The Colonel's Nieces is a story by Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), the French master of the short story whose hundreds of tales set the standard for the form. A protégé of Flaubert, Maupassant wrote with precision, irony, and an unsentimental eye for human weakness and the textures of French life. This tale shows the economy and bite that made him one of the greatest short-story writers in any language. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
