When talking about French literature, Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) is often the first name that comes to mind for Chinese readers.
The master of short story-telling was brought in Normandy(诺曼底) in northwest France. In 1869, he went to study law in Pairs but one year later, aged 20, he volunteered to serve in the army during the Franco-Prussian War(普法战争).
Returning to Pairs in 1871,Maupassant worked as a civil servant for eight years. His rich experience offered good subject matter for his writing. And he learned a lot through spending time with other French literary masters such as Gustave Flaubert. By 1880, Maupassant had established himself in the literary world with his first short story, Ball of Fat.
Over the course of his life, he wrote 300 short stories and six novels, using sad tales of Norman peasant life, the Franco-Prussian War and the fashionable life of Pairs as his subject matter.
He presents his characters in a simple and objective way, describing them as unhappy victims(牺牲品) of their greed(贪婪), desire or vanity(虚荣).
During his final years of life, Maupassant suffered from mental illness. He died in 1893 at the age of 43.
