DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Madame Tellier's Establishment" is a short story by French writer Guy de Maupassant. The story concerns the inhabitants of a provincial brothel who all depart on a train journey to witness the confirmation ceremony of the madame's niece. Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (5 August 1850 - 1893) was a French writer. He is considered a master of the story form, writing 300 during his life. He also produced six novels, three travel books, and one volume of verse. Other notable works by this author include: "Bel-Ami" (1885), "Pierre et Jean" (1888), and "Mademoiselle Fifi" (1883). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
