Guy de Maupassant（莫泊桑）was a famous French writer, born on August 5, 1850, in Normandy. He is best known for his short stories, which have a lasting influence on modern literature.
Maupassant's early years were difficult. His parents separated when he was just 11 years old, and his mother raised him and his younger brother by herself. Under his mother's influence, Maupassant developed an interest in reading and writing.
A turning point in his life came when he met the well - known writer Gustave Flaubert, his mother's friend. Flaubert became Maupassant's guide, helping him shape his writing style. Much like Flaubert's works, Maupassant's stories told the difficult life of poor people. Flaubert also introduced young Maupassant to some of the other famous writers of his day, such as Emile Zola and Henry James.
In 1880, Maupassant published his first major work, Boule de Suif（《羊脂球》）. It was a big success. But his best - known work was The Necklace which was published in 1884. It tells the story of Mathilde Loisel, a woman who borrows a beautiful necklace to wear to a party. After losing it, she spends her whole life working hard to pay for it, only to discover that the necklace was a fake（假货）. This story shows the problems of pride and the hard realities of life for many people.
Even though his writing career lasted only about ten years, Maupassant was very productive. He wrote around 300 short stories, six novels, and hundreds of newspaper articles. His clear and simple writing style, along with his ability to show human feelings, made him a pioneer in short stories.
Maupassant is often described as the father of modern short stories. His works were admired by people of the time. His style of writing has been copied by those who came after him. Maupassant inspired（激励）many other famous writers, including W. Somerset Maugham, O. Henry, and Henry James. Sadly, Maupassant fought with mental illness in his later years and died on July 6, 1893, at the age of 43.
