This book contains the (almost) complete short stories of Guy de Maupassant in the chronological order of their original publication. Here you will find the largest collection of Maupassant's short stories available in English (277 short stories). As you will notice, this book DOES NOT INCLUDE the 65 fake Maupassant stories... stories that weren't written by Maupassant but are always included in all the other so-called complete editions.
