Yvette
USD $ 4,99
Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Édouard Manet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Gustave Caillebotte. A young man pursues Yvette, the beautiful daughter of a Marquise whose salon is not quite what it appears — and discovers, slightly before she does, exactly what her mother is and what that makes her. Flaubert was Maupassant's mother's friend and made him rewrite for seven years before allowing him to publish; this long story is his cruellest about innocence, and the cruelty is in the reader's foreknowledge. Fifty-seven plates of painting by Renoir and Manet, among others, capture the parks, parlours and performers of the Paris that Yvette moves through.

Guy De Maupassant
(Miromesnil, 1850 - París, 1893). Escritor francés perteneciente a una familia de pequeños aristócratas librepensadores.Pronto abandonó su formación para dedicarse a la literatura, por consejo de su gran maestro y amigo Gustave Flaubert, quien lo introdujo en el círculo de escritores de la época, entre ellos Émile Zola, Iván Turgueniev, Edmond Goncourt y Henry James. Su primer éxito fue el célebre cuento «Bola de sebo». Son especialmente destacables sus cuentos de terror, género en el que es reconocido como un maestro a la altura de Edgar Allan Poe.
Afectado durante toda su vida de graves trastornos nerviosos, en 1892, tras un intento de suicidio en Cannes, fue ingresado en el manicomio de París, donde murió dieciocho meses después.
