A gift book in a leather cover "Pyshka" by Guy de Maupassant, in a case

The morning after the release of "Crumpets", his debut work, thirty-year-old Guy de Maupassant woke up famous.
The story of a small, round, appetizing person of easy virtue literally stirred up French society. Yes, she is poorly educated, yes, she is vulgar, and yes, she sells her body. However, how much nobler, higher and more spiritual this woman looks against the background of pious but hypocritical bourgeois who are ready to sell their Homeland for their own interests.
Once having read a strong, deep and such a delicious "Crumpet", the reader will remember it for the rest of his life.

This edition of the works has earned the reputation of being the best in the history of printing. The binding, decorated with gold and pancake embossing, a three-sided gold trim and a colored decorative backing give the publication a stylish and respectable look at the same time.
