«La Petita Roque i altres relats» is a selection of short stories by Guy de Maupassant published by Vicens Vives in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
Maupassant's stories in four strands: war as a condemnation of militarism, social criticism, the marginalized, and the fantastic, where the extraordinary reveals a cruel and incomprehensible world. Even gallant love offers no comfort; the whole paints a pessimistic yet coherent vision, with precise language and great technical mastery.
Part of the Aula Literària collection. Includes an introduction and notes by Esther Benítez, work proposals by Juan Sánchez-Enciso and María Raich, and a translation by Lluís Maria Todó Vila.
Aimed at secondary school students and useful for readers who want to discover Maupassant's short fiction.
