A Parisian Affair
A Parisian Affair | Guy de Maupassant
6 posts | 4 to read
'Nowhere could she discover the dens of iniquity about which she had dreamed...' 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. A new series of twenty distinctive, unforgettable Penguin Classics in a beautiful new design and pocket-sized format, with coloured jackets echoing Penguin's original covers.

My #5fordinner party is thematically focused on the short stories and guests are masters of this genre: Alice Munro, Angela Carter, Guy de Maupassant, Edgar Allan Poe and Roald Dahl. This could be interesting and funny evening.

Thank you @Moray_Reads for tag and who would you like to invite @QueenBook @speljamr @ju.ca.no @sacrilecious @Wbabdullah

I had read, during the readathon, three of his short stories and I was thrilled so much that I bought last week this collection!

Yay, I got my first #PocketPenguins! I have to admit that I was a tad disappointed with the quality of them. Just carrying them from Foyles to home, the colours on the covers rubbed off and I had to get them replaced. Not sure how well they'll hold up to actual reading...
