Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.
Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.
Often described as the father of the modern short story, there is perhaps no other writer more closely associated with the form than Guy de Maupassant. Included here is his most famous story, 'Boule de Suif', as well as tales of love, such as the brilliant 'Happiness', and the supernatural, like the chilling 'The Horla'.

Szépfiú
Georges Duroy, a törtető szépfiú a Vie Française című politikai napilaphoz kerül. Munkája révén hamar kiismeri magát a társasági életben, majd később – ahogy elkezd felfelé kapaszkodni a ranglétrán – a politikaiban is.
Duroy, a búgó hangú, kackiás bajuszú, ambiciózus fiatalember rájön, hogy a nők segítségével egyre nagyobb hatalomra tehet szert, vagyont szerezhet, karriert csinálhat – és ennek érdekében a szélhámosságtól és a zsarolástól sem riad vissza.
The Horla (EN)
Audiobook The Horla written by Guy de Maupassant. The Horla is the chilling tale of one man's descent into madness. Maupassant established a reputation in France as an absolute master of the short story, before himself succumbing to the mental illness that ravaged his later life. This story is the terrifying tale of an invisible vampire, told by a narrator himself on the brink of insanity, and written by a master of the macabre clearly at the peak of his powers.

Miláček, 5. vydání
Paříž 1885: Georgese Duroye, bývalého vojáka a toho času zaměstnance na dráze, trápí nedostatek peněz, chudoba a bezmoc. Vše se mění ze dne na den, když mu kamarád z vojny dohodí místo v novinách – z nýmanda se stane uznávaný novinář. Díky známým pozná Duroy, přezdívaný Miláček, pár zazobanců z místní smetánky a získá svou první milenku, paní de Marelle. Vzápětí se však žení z ryzího kalkulu – nebere si tu, kterou miluje, ale bohatou vdovu po kamarádovi. Se svatbou si zvolí i nové, vznešenější jméno, s postavením a penězi vzrostou i nároky. Satirický román má skvělou atmosféru, která nás vrací do doby, kdy se společenská smetánka vozila v drožkách a z venkovana se mohl stát lev salonů. Maupassant ve svém díle představuje sobeckého a sebestředného jedince, který touží po slávě, uznání, moci, penězích a úspěchu u žen. Miláček je nevyléčitelný sukničkář, prototyp průměrného člověka jdoucího přes mrtvoly.
