Kulička se mi líbila moc, ale ostatní povídky v knize byly spíše průměrné, nic moc mi neřekly. Kromě Kuličky mě zaujaly jen povídky Šperk a Coco.

Primer "libro" que leo de este autor. Maupassant critica la hipocresía de las personas respecto a su patria, como los franceses proclamaban le amor por su patria y como harían lo que sea por ella, pero cuando llegaba el momento parecía que esas personas se olvidaban de todas esas palabras y solo hacían lo que les convenía. Habla de la guerra de los franceses contra Prusia. Sobre la hipocresía de las personas, pero esta vez, critica la hipocresía de los nobles, tratan bien a una persona cuando les conviene y cuando han acabado con lo que quieren la olvidan.
En la novela se encuentra todo tipo de personajes, unas monjas, personas ricas y codiciosas, prostitutas, borrachos, etc.

This is one of the most relatable short-story Classics I have ever read. It also has details of the Franco-Prussian war that Guy de Maupassant would have witnessed first-hand, as it was an event he lived through. Fascinating.

I seriously loved Boule de Suif! I had to read it for French class and I got a 9.3/10!
The story is about a prostitute in French, during the war between France and Germany (in that time Prussia). A group of people leave their hometown, taken by the Prussians. Boule de Suif is one of them. The other travellers are mean and proud towards her. When they stop in a town, they're not allowed to travel further by a Prussian officer. They can only pass the city if Boule de Suif sleeps with the officer. Boule doesn't want that and rejects the officer. The travellers are furious. What will happen? Will Boule de Suif stop rejecting the officer or will the other travellers convince her to sleep with him?
The read was light and enjoyable. It was a intriguing story, about moral aspects and loyalty. Really recommend this one.

- Sexistický, předsudky, slut shaming, girl hate …. That´s no from me. Ale pořád na povinnou četbu ještě dobrý.
