Brilliantly naturalistic, these short works also reveal Maupassant's ability to observe the innumerable details of everyday life and reproduce them artfully and accurately, often with a caustic sense of humor.\u003cbr\u003eHis literary talents are amply displayed in this volume, which includes these memorable tales: \"Ball-of-Fat,\" regarded by many as technically one of the finest short stories ever written, \"The Necklace,\" \"A Piece of String,\" \"Mme. Tellier's Establishment,\" \"Mademoiselle Fifi,\" \"Miss Harriet,\" \"A Way to Wealth,\" \"My Uncle Jules,\" and \"The Horla.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 8.32 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 1992\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756122472736,"sku":"9780486270647","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/16238353e5c5835c34badc329cc57188.webp?v=1780074828","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-necklace-and-other-short-stories-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
