Boule De Suif And Other Stories
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

" Boule de Suif, le conte de mon disciple dont j'ai lu ce matin les épreuves, est un chef-d'œuvre, je maintiens le mot, un chef-d'œuvre de composition, de comique d'observation. " Paul Morand n'est pas moins enthousiaste que Flaubert : " une grande nouveauté, une parfaite réussite ", souligne-t-il, tout en comparant la nouvelle à l'Olympia de Manet. Issue, seule de son espèce, d'une sorte de concours littéraire lancé lors d'une des soirées de Médan, Boule de Suif fait figure non de manifeste, mais d'accomplissement. Le bonheur d'un titre, la virtuosité d'un conteur qui joue sur tous les registres - y compris le comique - servis par une plume souple et ferme à la fois, employée à peindre la cupidité aussi bien que l'amour, les préjugés ou le bonheur n'y sont pas étrangers. Mais quelle recette mystérieuse et efficace est ici à l'œuvre ? Qui oubliera, héroïne déchue de La parure, cette Mathilde Loisel dont la sensualité brûle le papier ? Maupassant à son meilleur saisit " dans leurs côtés cruels les réalités de la vie ", non sans dégager de cet amalgame soigneux de bourgeois avides et d'humiliés perdus une poésie âcre et forte.
