Editorial Review:

The solitude of women is one of the great subjects of universal Literature. All women either with impossible or tragically lost loves face solitude at some time in their lives. This anthology presents unforgettable stories that portray a psychological state and a peculiar way of life to which women end up getting used to. This anthology contains stories by Flaubert, O’Connor, Chejov, Cheever, Maupassant, Clarice Lispector, Oscar Wilde and Carlos Fuentes among others.

Description in Spanish: Uno de los méritos principales de este excelente libro de cuentos es que nos encamina hacia un encuentro amoroso y solidario con diferentes tipos de mujeres que nos regalan aquello que sólo la literatura hace posible: traspasar los límites de nuestra propia vida para penetrar en una ajena, la de cualquiera de ellas, perdiendo por instantes la rigidez a la que nos reduce nuestra cotidianidad, irremediablemente pequeña y limitada. No depende de nuestra voluntad controlar el fenómeno de identificación que nos posee: toda mujer reconoce en la otra, aunque sea con temor, una probabilidad de sí misma.

Mmmmm, Butterball 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Butterball is just an amazing illustration of class and shifting morals. Our poor heroine is viewed first by her fellow travelers as being below contempt. This view changes after she decides to share her food with them. Again, poor Butterball's companions shift their views and try and sell her to the Prussians. This is an immensely silly novella with a serious commentary. After you read it, it is hard to be ride of its impression.

Editorial Review:

Set during the Franco–Prussian war, Butterball is a sympathetic portrayal of a prostitute’s mistreatment at the hands of a cold–hearted bourgeoisie. It is published here with a selection of stories about prostitutes, making this a unique collection. Foreword by Germaine Greer.

When Butterball’s carriage is halted by Prussian soldiers, they demand her sexual services as ransom. Her fellow passengers—hitherto disdainful of her company—are suddenly more than happy to benefit from her “immoral” trade. But Butterball is a loyal French nationalist, and she refuses to sleep with the enemy. Through the warmth and generosity of his heroine, Maupassant exposes the hypocrisy of the French middle class. French writer Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893) is most famous for his short stories, which depict the humdrum fate of the middle and working classes.

Editorial Review:

Alien Hearts was the last novel that Guy de Maupassant completed before succumbing to the effects of tertiary syphilis of which he was to die at forty-three. It is the most original and surprising of his novels and the one in which he attains a truly tragic perception of the wounded human heart. Alien Hearts is the story of lovers bound by bitterness as much as by passion. Maupassant’s hero falls for a woman of the world, a glacially dazzling beauty whose past with an abusive husband leads her to hold him–and everyone–at arm’s length. He seeks solace with a servant girl, but remains racked by pointless infatuation.

Richard Howard’s new English version of this complex and brooding psychological novel reveals the final, unexpected flowering of the great French realist’s art.
