BOOK OF THE BEST SHORT STORIES EVERY WRITTEN: Butterscotch Brown Leatherette; Spine 1; Gold BL on front cover plus gold title and author's name on spine; Brown Marble Endpaper; light wear on top and bottom spine edges. ONE STORY: Maupassant describes the Prussian soldiers who have seized the château as crude, destructive, and rather stupid men who don't value the manor or its beautiful furniture and costly paintings and art objects. Nearly all of them are violent, brutish womanizers, but the story's narrator explains that possibly the worst of these men is the short and slender Count Wilhelm von Eyrick, whom the other soldiers nickname ''Mademoiselle Fifi.'' ALSO: Other stories included are: The Piece of String, Boule De Suif, Two Little Soldiers, Father Milon, Monsieur Parent, Useless Beauty, The False Gems, The Horla, A Sale, The Story of a Farm Girl, Simons Papa, and A Coward.
