The Selected Short Stories of Maupassant: Guy de Maupassant is one of the best short story writers in the world. In 1880, his Boule de Suif made his name in world literature history. Maupassant made contrast between prostitute Boule de Suif, who is a representative of the underclass, and the so-called upper-class hypocrites. Boule de Suif has a strong sense of justice and sympathy, but those hypocrites only get selfish and evil souls.(莫泊桑短篇小说选：莫泊桑是世界上数一数二的短篇小说大师，1880年《羊脂球》的发表使他一举成名，该篇亦成为世界文学史上的经典之作。作者将处于社会最底层、受人歧视的妓女——"羊脂球"与形形色色、道貌岸然的所谓上层人物做对比，充分显示出前者极富正义感和同情心的美好心灵以及后者极端自私、寡廉鲜耻的丑恶灵魂。)
