Boule de Suif by Guy de Maupassant Pdf
"Boule de Suif" se déroule pendant la guerre franco-prussienne de 1870-1871, dans la ville de Rouen, qui est occupée par les troupes prussiennes. L'histoire suit un groupe hétérogène de voyageurs français qui tentent de fuir la ville occupée pour se rendre à Dieppe, qui est aux mains des Français. Parmi les voyageurs se trouve Élisabeth Rousset, surnommée "Boule de Suif," une femme généreuse et aimée de tous, malgré son apparence enrobée. Le groupe comprend également des notables locaux, y compris des commerçants et des aristocrates. Les voyageurs sont contraints de voyager ensemble dans une diligence, car les autorités prussiennes ne les laisseront pas partir seuls. Pendant leur voyage, les voyageurs sont confrontés à des difficultés et à des humiliations de la part des Prussiens, qui détiennent un pouvoir oppressif. Boule de Suif se montre généreuse en partageant ses provisions avec les autres voyageurs, malgré sa propre faim. Cependant, à un moment donné, les autorités prussiennes, par l'intermédiaire d'un officier allemand, font pression sur Boule de Suif pour qu'elle se sacrifie en échange de la libération du groupe. L'histoire explore des thèmes tels que la morale, la lâcheté, la compromission et la solidarité. Elle met en lumière les contradictions et les faiblesses morales des personnages, notamment ceux de la classe sociale supérieure qui méprisent Boule de Suif malgré son sacrifice généreux. "Boule de Suif" est une œuvre puissante qui dénonce l'hypocrisie et l'injustice sociale de la société de l'époque. Guy de Maupassant critique la lâcheté des élites bourgeoises qui sont prêtes à sacrifier les autres pour préserver leur propre confort. La nouvelle a un impact durable en tant que commentaire social et est un exemple notable du réalisme littéraire français.

Boule de Suif by Guy de Maupassant Pdf
Mais le jour imperceptiblement grandissait. Ces flocons légers qu'un voyageur, Rouennais pur sang, avait comparés à une pluie de coton, ne tombaient plus. Une lueur sale filtrait à travers de gros nuages obscurs et lourds qui rendaient plus éclatante la blancheur de la campagne où apparaissaient tantôt une ligne de grands arbres vêtus de givre, tantôt une chaumière avec un capuchon de neige.

Ball of Fat (Boule de Suif) - Unabridged English Edition by Guy de Maupassant Pdf
This carefully crafted ebook: "Ball of Fat (Boule de Suif) - Unabridged English Edition" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Boule de Suif" (translated variously as "Dumpling", "Butterball", "Ball of Fat" or "Ball of Lard") is a famous short story by the late-19th century French writer Guy de Maupassant. It is arguably his most famous short story and is the title story for his collection on the Franco-Prussian War, entitled "Boule de Suif et Autres Contes de la Guerre" ("Dumpling and Other Stories of the War"). The story is set in the Franco-Prussian War and follows a group of French residents of Rouen, recently occupied by the Prussian army. The ten travellers decide, for various reasons, to leave Rouen and flee to Le Havre in a stagecoach. Sharing the carriage are Boule de Suif or "Butterball", a prostitute whose real name is Elisabeth Rousset; the strict Democrat Cornudet; a shop-owning couple from the petty bourgeoisie, M. and Mme. Loiseau; a wealthy upper-bourgeoisie factory-owner and his wife, M. and Mme. Carré-Lamadon; the Comte and Comtesse of Bréville; and two nuns. Thus, the carriage constitutes a microcosm of French society, representing different parts of the French population during the late 19th century. Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a popular French writer, considered one of the fathers of the modern short story and one of the form's finest exponents. Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert and his stories are characterized by economy of style and efficient, effortless dénouements (outcomes). He wrote some 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one volume of verse. His first published story, "Boule de Suif" ("Ball of Fat"), is often considered his masterpiece.

A Parisian Affair and Other Stories by Guy de Maupassant Pdf
Set in the Paris of society women, prostitutes and small-minded bourgeousie, and the isolated villages of rural Normandy that de Maupassant knew as a child, the thirty-three tales in this volume are among the most darkly humorous and brilliant short stories in nineteenth-century literature. They focus on the relationships between men and women, as in the poignant fantasy of 'A Parisian Affair', between brothers and sisters, and between masters and servants. Through these relationships, Maupassant explores the dualistic nature of the human character and his stories reveal both nobility, civility and generosity, and, in stories such as 'At Sea' and 'Boule de Suif', vanity, greed and hypocrisy. Maupassant's stories repeatedly lay humanity bare with deft wit and devastating honesty.
