pickMaupassant was a prolific short story writer in the 1880‘s. He is pessimistic, wary of society and not immune to the chauvinism of his day. But he builds characters and takes on morality in a few pages like no one else. I think he‘s a must read for aspiring writers.

“I have an immoderate passion for water; for the sea, though so vast, so restless, so beyond one's comprehension; for rivers, beautiful, yet #fugitive & elusive; but especially for marshes, teeming with all that mysterious life of the creatures that haunt them. A marsh is a whole world within a world, a different world, with a life of its own, with its own permanent denizens, its passing visitors, its voices, its sounds, its own strange mystery.”
Look what my DH brought home to me from his out of town business trip! The gold ones are Blacks Readers Service from 1943, and the green is Harvard Classics. #bookhaul #blacksreadersservice #kipling #hugo #tolstoi #plato #myhusbandknowswhatilike
