The Selected Short Stories of Maupassant: Guy de Maupassant is one of the best short story writers in the world. In 1880, his Boule de Suif made his name in world literature history. Maupassant made contrast between prostitute Boule de Suif, who is a representative of the underclass, and the so-called upper-class hypocrites. Boule de Suif has a strong sense of justice and sympathy, but those hypocrites only get selfish and evil souls.
