This early work by Guy de Maupassant was originally published in the 1880's. Guy de Maupassant was born in 1850 at the Château de Miromesnil, near Dieppe, France. He came from a prosperous family, but when Maupassant was eleven, his mother risked social disgrace by trying to secure a legal separation from her husband. After the split, Maupassant lived with his mother till he was thirteen, and inherited her love of classical literature. In 1880, Maupassant published his first - and, according to many, his best - short story, entitled 'Boule de Suif' ('Ball of Fat'). It was an instant success. He went on to be extremely prolific during the 1880s, working methodically to produce up to four volumes of short fiction every year. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

Excerpt from Miss. Harriet C'etait l'automne. Des deux cotes du chemin les champs denudes s'etendaient, jaunis par le pied court des avoines et des bles fauches qui couvraient le sol comme une barbe mal rasee. La terre embrumee semblait fumer. Des alouettes chantaient en l'air, d'autres oiseaux pepiaient dans les buissons. Le soleil enfin se leva devant nous, tout rouge au bord de l'horizon; et, a mesure qu'il montait, plus clair de minute en minute, la campagne paraissait s'eveiller, sourire, se secouer, et oter, comme une fille qui sort du lit, sa chemise de vapeurs blanches. Le comte d'Etraille, assis sur le siege, cria: Tenez, un lievre, et il etendait le bras vers la gauche, indiquant une piece de trefle. L'animal filait, presque cache par ce champ, montrant seulement ses grandes oreilles; puis il detala a travers un laboure, s'arreta, repartit d'une course folle, changea de direction, s'arreta de nouveau, inquiet, epiant tout danger, indecis sur la route a prendre; puis il se remit a courir avec de grands sauts de l'arriere-train, et il disparut dans un large carre de betteraves. Tous les hommes s'eveillerent, suivant la marche de la bete. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
