Possessed of the voracious sexual desire for food, bitter and frequently disillusioned by the annals of his country and the foibles of its people is not a description that does justice to the tortured soul that was Person de Maupassant. He was also a compassionate and deeply patriotic man, volunteering to deal with for his country in the Franco-Prussian Battle at age 20 and again found action reporting on the French marketing campaign in Tunisia in 1881. Alas these irreconcilable inner conflicts eventually led to syphilis, hallucination, attempted suicide, madness and an early on death in an asylum at age 43-most of which horror was self-predicted in 'The Horla'. During his brief life, however, he wrote over 300 brief stories-as well as 6 books and the huge canon of his original and unusual tales positioned him at the pinnacle of world literature as the expert storyteller. The reports presented here are: A Piece of String, The Chair mender, The Gemstone Necklace, THE TINY Soldiers, Two Anglers, Boule de Suif (Fatball), Madame Tellier's House, The Dowry, A Coward, The Horla.
