| Summary | "Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 04" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of literary works that includes both short stories and novellas, written in the late 19th century. The volume features Maupassant's signature style, exploring themes of love, society, and the human condition, often with a touch of irony and realism. This edition includes notable stories such as "Mademoiselle Fifi," showcasing the interactions of German soldiers during the Franco-Prussian War and the complexities of human relationships in times of conflict. The opening of the volume introduces readers to "Mademoiselle Fifi," set in a chateau occupied by Prussian officers. The story features Major de Farlsberg, a commanding officer who, along with his subordinates, reveals a mix of ennui and indifference toward the war's larger implications. Tension arises as they plan to invite women from a nearby town for a night of revelry, only for the evening to culminate in violent and tragic consequences when one of the women, Rachel, reacts desperately against the brutal treatment at the hands of the officers. This portion sets the tone for the exploration of themes surrounding war, masculinity, and the often overlooked humanity of individuals caught in such tumultuous circumstances.
