Very Good In Wrappers. Newly Translated From The French By Andrew R. MacAndrew.Foreword By Edward D. Sullivan. 285 pages. paperback. CD240. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Maupassant is universally regarded as one of the true masters of the short story, unsurpassed in his swift economy of style and sense of narrative form. In this collection, - which ranges from 'Boule de Suif,' his first and most famous tale, to the stories that belong to his last great creative outpouring - the reader is offered a sampling of. his finest work. These stories are set in farm, town, or city; their characters include grand ladies and prostitutes, peasants and aristocrats, workingmen and members of the bourgeoisie - but all are shaped by the same intensity of vision. It is a vision that tears away the blinders of official morality; a vision that accepts only the evidence of the senses; a vision that invests each of these tautly written tales with the force of truth. As Edward D. Sullivan writes: '[Maupassant's] dread of being deluded drove him to depict the world as it is and not as it purports to be. People protect themselves with masks; society screens itself by hypocrisy. The task of a writer, as he saw it, was to lift those masks and remove that screen.'. inventory #29162, NY: Random House, 1970. 1st printing of 1st edition.

The sudden loss of sight and hearing made him claustrophobic. He tightened his hands over the instrument kit he carried beneath his cloak. He heard her amused laughter in the darkness at his side, and light burst around him again, opening up the small room they stood in now. They were not alone. His tension made him start, even though he was expecting it, even though it had happened to him five times already in this interminable night, and would happen several times more. It was happening in a sitting room this time-on the boneless couch that obtruded into a forest of dark furniture legs dusted with gold. The irrelevant thought struck him that he had seen a greater range of styles and taste in this one night than he had probably seen in forty years back on Kharemough. But he was not back on Kharemough; he was in Carbuncle, and this Festival night was the strangest night he would ever spend, if he lived to be a hundred. Sprawled on the couch in unself-conscious abandon were a man and a woman, both of them deeply asleep now from the drugged wine in the half-empty bottle lying on its side on the rug. He stared at the purple stain that crept across the sculptured carpet-pile, trying not to intrude any more than he must on their privacy. "You're certain that this couple has also been-intimate?" "Quite certain. Absolutely certain." His companion lifted the white-feathered mask from her shoulders, revealing a mass of hair almost as white coiled like a nest of serpents above her eager, young girl's face. The mask was a grotesque contrast to the sweetness of that face: the barbed ripping beak of a predatory bird, the enormous black-pupiled eyes of a night hunter that glared at him with the promise of life and death hanging in the balance ....
