Myrthe, it must have been impressive to read them in the original language, but in which ever language, I hope you enjoy them again! An English translation is at Project Gutenberg and at the other sites I linked to above; I don't know what copyright laws there are in Armenia, but I would imagine that since more than 100 years have past it is now in the public domain. I did enjoy them so much. Diana Raabe, I didn't recall the name either, but I think I'd read a few of them. "The Necklace" I think is the most well-known. Alessandra, I hope you enjoy them!

If I have, it wasn't much and it was a very long time ago. Thanks for the reminder. Why can’t I recall reading any de Maupassant? If I have, it wasn’t much and it was a very long time ago.

The only thing I remember about them is that I (somewhat surprisingly) enjoyed them very much, even while reading them in French! My French is nowhere near good enough to read the stories in their original language any longer, but if I come across a collection in English or Dutch translation, I'll definitely pick it up because I'd love to (re)read Maupassant again.
