This volume presents forty-nine of approximately 250 that Maupassant wrote during his lifetime; of the forty-nine, over half of them (twenty-six) were translated by the also well-known author, Lafcadio Hearn. Complementing the text are thirty-two illustrations reproduced by means of lithography from watercolours (seventeen full-page) by Gunter Böhmer of Switzerland, who signed the volume at the colophon. This volume as complete as one can hope for: in addition to the book itself and the publisher's slipcase, the previous owner retained the original glassine wrapper, the Monthly Letter, and the seldom-seen Announcement. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full light blue cloth over bevelled boards, gilt lettering on a mounted brown cloth label and gilt decorated borders on the front board and spine, top edge stained brown, frontispiece one of the full-page illustrations by Gunter Böhmer, title page in blue and black; monotype Plantin on Abbey Mills paper, large octavo size (9 5/8" by 7"), pagination: [i-vii] viii-xii [1-3] 4-472 [1, blank] [1, colophon], one of 1500 copies, this number 351, signed by Gunter Böhmer at the colophon.
