Works: The Temptation Of St. Anthony. Over Strand And Field (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781279484067)

This collection presents two significant works of French literature: Gustave Flaubert's 'The Temptation of St. Anthony' and a selection of Guy de Maupassant's short stories, 'Over Strand and Field'.

Accompanying this are selected short stories by Guy de Maupassant, offering a glimpse into the lives and landscapes of 19th-century France. Known for his keen observation and realistic style, Maupassant's stories capture the nuances of human nature and the complexities of society.
