Tales of the Unexpected is a collection of timeless short stories, which surprise and engage with a twist. This audiobook features the classic tales "The Story of an Hour", by Kate Chopin; "The Gift of the Magi", by O. Henry; "Miss Bril", by Katherine Mansfield; "A Horseman in the Sky" and "An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge", by Ambrose Bierce; and "The Necklace", by Guy de Maupassant.

A peasant attending the market in the neighboring town stoops to pick up a piece of string from the road. Later that day, he is maliciously accused of picking up a lost pocketbook containing five hundred francs and some valuable business papers. Although he is innocent of the charge, and the pocketbook is later handed in to the mayor by the person who actually found it, the taint of the accusation remains. The more the man protests his innocence, the less he is believed.

Mit Boule de Suif gelang Maupassant literarischer Durchbruch.

Zwischen Wirklichkeit und Wahnsinn. In Tagebucheinträgen beobachtet ein Mann an sich selbst, wie er urplötzlich alle Lebensfreude verliert und körperlich mehr und mehr verfällt. Die Ursache seines Verfalls vermutet er in einem unsichtbaren Wesen, das ihm nachts die Lebenskraft aus dem Leib saugt. Er versucht, die Existenz des "Horla" zu belegen und weiß irgendwann selbst nicht mehr, wie weit er seiner eigenen Wahrnehmung noch trauen kann.

A delightful collection of 10 of Guy de Maupassant's most famous tales: "The Parrot", "The Love of Long Ago", "Mademoiselle Fifi", "Miss Harriet", "An Uncomfortable Bed", "A Queer Night in Paris", "My Uncle Jules", "The Piece of String", "The Necklace", and "Found on a Drowned Man".

In questo racconto lungo Guy De Maupassant, alternando serietà e sarcasmo, propone uno spaccato di borghesi francesi che , vuoti di valori e permeati di ipocrisia, vengono a patti con tutto pur di accaparrarsi una eredità milionaria. Amico di Flaubert. Emile Zola, da cui fu profondamente influenzato, Maupassant spesso ritrae nelle sue opere la stupidità, la cupidigia, la crudeltà e soprattutto la meschinità, e il riso è più amaro che dolce. Cornice musicale di Paul Dukas.

No one plumbs deeper depths of the psyche than French and Russian authors. This second wide-ranging collection of 19th-century literary masterworks, presented in their entirety, not only entertains, but provides insight into 19th-century mores and the mysteries of human nature.

"Bola de sebo", que muchos creen es uno de los mejores cuentos de Maupassant, fue publicado originalmente en una coleccion dirigida por Zola y es un ataque a la moral burguesa que acepta que una mujer se entregue para salvarlos a todos, pero despues por haberse entregado es mirada con desprecio. Igualmente esta "El collar" con su sorpresivo desenlace y el tierno "Padre de Simon", ademas de otra serie de cuentos que son testimonio de la grandeza del autor.

Los dos hermanos, Pedro y Juan, son rivales por el amor de una mujer y Pedro hace uso de toda clase de recursos para traicionar a su hermano, que parece ser el exitoso.

Guy de Maupassant is widely regarded as the father of the modern short story. As his 13 volumes of short stories attest, he was a prolific writer of this form. He had a simple, efficient style of writing and, like Anton Chekhov, found inspiration for his stories in the daily lives of humans, which often reveal our darker nature. His years of service in the Franco-Prussian War provided him with rich material for his work.

Guy de Maupassant is considered one of the fathers of the modern short story. His narratives are characterized by an economy of style and the efficient way in which the various threads are neatly resolved. In "The False Jewels", a man who dotes on his wife is crushed by her unexpected death and then astounded by a revelation about her costume jewelry.

A lesson on the power of vanity, "The Necklace" tells the story of Madame Mathilde Loisel and her husband. Mathilde always imagined herself as a socialite with beautiful gowns and wonderful jewels. Her husband, however, is a lowly clerk and the two have little money. Desperate to attend an important party, she borrows a friend's diamond necklace to match the dress her husband bought for her. But when Mathilde loses the expensive jewels, she nearly destroys her life in an effort to pay back the debt.

Siamo nella Francia della seconda metà dell’Ottocento, durante la guerra Franco-Prussiana. Tre di questi sei racconti ce la descrivono come occasione di meschinità, piccole vigliaccherie, ma anche di impensati e imprevisti patriottismi; gli altri racconti, brevi lampi dolce amari, sempre ironici sono ambientati nelle campagne francesi ma anche nella sensuale e misteriosa Africa, vista con gli occhi dei colonizzatori francesi. Cornice musicale: Paul Dukas.
