Produktinformationen zu „Walter Schnaffs' Adventure (ePub)“

Walter Schnaff is unlike the other soldiers in the Prussian army. While his brothers-in-arms advance through Normandy with the intent of subjugating the French and achieving victory, Walter is a pacifist who can't stand the thought of killing. Yet when his unit is ambushed, Walter's philosophy is tested to its limits. Can pacifism prevail when the enemy is closing in on all sides? Guy de Maupassant's short story "Walter Schnaffs' Adventure" explores the horrors of the 1870 Franco-Prussian war and poses important questions about what it means to be a soldier. -

Autoren-Porträt von Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a famous French writer, often referred to as the father of the short story. A prolific writer, his best known works include "Bel-Ami", "Une Vie" and "The Necklace", alongside some 300 short stories, travel books, and poetry. A master of style and dramatic narrative, Maupassant's stories are drawn to themes of war, the working class, and the human condition. One of his greatest influences was Gustave Flaubert, who introduced him to some of the central names of the time such as Emile Zola, Ivan Turgenev, and Henry James.
