Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893) was a French novelist and short-story writer born in Normandy. His experience of the Franco-Prussian War supplied material for some of his best-known stories. Celebrated for vivid realism and an enduring influence on short fiction, he also wrote novels including Bel-Ami.
