  1. Mayur Goswami

    Enjoyable read. The translations were well done, but I wish there was a bit more modern French lit included.

  2. Yash Sandeep Wayangankar

    Some stories were fantastic, others forgettable. Still worth reading for the classics included. Great edition!

  3. Bhukiya Sai Shreya

    Uneven, but some real gems in here. Maupassant shines, as always. Could have used a bit more context for some stories.

  4. Gaurav Chawla

    A decent collection; some stories felt a little dated. Still worth reading, I would say. Good for a gift.

  5. Prince Sahu

    A decent collection, but some stories felt a bit dated. Still, a good way to explore French literature.

    A few stories weren’t for me, but that’s expected in a collection. Worth it for the price. Good quality print.

  14. Nishant Batan

    Great book. You can read the short stories again and again without getting tired. Worth every penny.

  15. Sohel Mubarak Sheikh

    I was hoping for more contemporary stories. The older ones felt a bit slow. Pretty average overall.

    This is a book that you can keep coming back to. It includes both some popular writers, and some lesser known
