“Contes du jour et de la nuit” by Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant is one of the world’s best writers of short stories. In fact, you probably read at least one translation of his work in your high school English classes.

“La parure” (The Necklace) is arguably Maupassant’s most famous short story, and it’s included in his short story collection “Contes du jour et de la nuit” (Stories of Day and of Night). Maupassant’s short stories are particularly enjoyable to read, especially if you like plot twists.

The original publication of “Contes du jour et de la nuit” is composed of 21 short stories, although later editions include additional tales. While taking three weeks to read a book can result in losing track of complicated plots or many characters, reading just one short story a day is different. Each short story has its own plot and set of characters, so you start fresh with each new tale.
