Of the several previously untranslated, which are almost certainly at least partially autobiographical, and some of which were subsumed into later work, only the arrestingly melodramatic ""A True-Life Drama"" and the harrowing conte cruel ""The Donkey"" are notable. Best is the long title story, a superficial but often charming episodic arrangement of Parisian scenes and characters (including a wicked sketch of Æ'mile Zola). Not the best of Maupassant, but very much worth having.
