France has given the world some of its greatest writers, and this box of four short stories offers a perfect introduction to their work. Through sharp observations and masterful prose, they capture human nature in all its complexity, taking us from the salons of Paris to the quiet countryside. Each cover carries a painting by Claude Monet, setting the tone for a literary journey through four timeless voices, spanning psychological depth, vivid realism, and echoes of myth and legend.
The box contains four pocket-sized books:
Guy de Maupassant – Paul’s Mistress
Marcel Proust – The Melancholy Summer of Madame de Breyves
Gustave Flaubert – The Legend of Saint-Julien l’Hospitalier
Honoré de Balzac – A Street of Paris and Its Inhabitants
