5.0 out of 5 stars Actually Complete and Well Researched!, May 18, 2010
By 
Benendanti "The Endless Slug" (Yogyakarta, Chicago, or Bucharest) - See all my reviews
I have to disagree with the other reviewer - this volume is the ONLY edition ever printed which correctly includes all of Maupassant's complete short stories. Whichever stories you believe are missing are either not short stories or mis-attributed to him. There are other editions of Maupassant's "complete" stories but these other editions often include dozens, if not over a hundred stories which were written by other people. Artine Artinian, the editor of the correct (this) edition is an excellent Maupassant scholar. I'm left with wondering what exactly was a waste of money - that you didn't care for the writing or that you feel the book was incomplete? And why buy it if you felt you could get them online for free?

If you enjoy short stories and have not read Maupassant, shame on you. Maupassant, along with Hemingway, is the father of the short story and defines exactly what a short story ought to be. The richness and economy of his writing speaks even through the translation. I cannot rate this highly enough; as writing quality, translation quality, research quality, and editorial perfection.
