This is one of the 1942 fifteenth printings of the book. From the back cover – “No one surpasses Maupassant in holding the reader spellbound. He writes of passion, nostalgic sentiment, adventure, slight, piquant situations, heroism and cowardice–all with the convincing authority of a born spinner of tales. This French genius is one of the few great writers who need little interpretation. There is nothing vague about him: he is as factual as a five-star-final and far more accurate. Maupassant’s stories have an edge, a fine clarity of outline, that make them unique and unsurpassable.” Condition - The book is clean, complete, tightly bound and unfaded with much of the original plastic cover lamination is still present, though there is the usual partial peeling, particularly of the edges. There is some discoloration around the periphery of the back cover due to light foxing. The spine edge has edge wear while the print on the spine edge mostly intact and legible. There are no markings in the book. Pages are mildly age toned. There are no torn, missing, loose, creased or marked pages. The book is in overall good+ condition.
