Guy de Maupassant

1850-1893. Guy de Maupassant possessed a photographic memory, which enabled the realistic precision in psychological and physical detail of his stories. Maupassant is often declared the greatest French writer of short stories, penning about 300 of them in addition to novels, travel books, and poetry. Among his best works are Une Vie, Bel-Ami, Pierre et Jean, Le Horla, and Boule de Suif. Learn more about Guy de Maupassant at Wikipedia.
