A master of the short story,

Guy de Maupassant

(1850–1893) wrote tales

that are both realistic

and pessimistic and that

frequently offer unforeseen

endings. Following military

service, Maupassant settled

in Paris and joined a circle

of writers led by novelist

Emile Zola. With Zola’s

encouragement, Maupassant

published his first short story,

“Ball of Fat,” which earned

him immediate fame and

freed him to write full time.

“The Necklace” is his most

widely read work.
