A Day In The Country And Other Stories

This selection of twenty-seven stories in a lively new translation shows Maupassant as his comic, cruel, and brilliant best. In addition to the poignant title story, it includes one of the most famous tales ever written, The Necklace , and Le Horla, an account of a disintegrating personality that chillingly parallels the author's own decline into madness.
