مجموعه تپلی و شش داستان کوتاه دیگر بشدت جذاب و دارای پیام های معناداری است. با اینکه بیش از دو قرن از این داستان ها میگذرد ولی جامعه روایت شده ان زمان با الان وجه هتی مشترک بسیاری دارد و میتوان گفت رفتار قشر های خاصی از جامعه در فرهنگ ها و ملت های مختلف بمانندهم است و حتی میتوان ادعا کرد که ذات بشری را نشان میدهد.
داستان مرده ریگ که در کنار داستان تپلی دو داستان بلند تر به نسبت بقیه بودند بنظرم بسیار جالب و ارزش یکبار خواندن را دارند.

I didn't understand the story at all... So I couldn't give it more than two stars. It wasn't for me.

"The mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance. For hatred of the foreigner ever arms a few intrepid souls, ready to die for an idea."
Maupassant is a true genius when it comes to the short story form. His writing beautiful as always, his characters well developed and rounded, his control over timing and pacing is second to none. Boule de Suif was not a disappointment in the slightest. If you ever endeavour to read the short stories of Maupassant, I would recommend it.

"Nakonec to vypadalo, jako by jedinou úlohou ženy na tomto světě bylo neustále se obětovat, ustavičně se vzdávat choutkám zhýralých vojáků."
Úderná, až bolestivě pravdivá povídka. Ocenila jsem, že se Maupassant tentorkát vyvaroval barvitým naturalistickým popisům a zvolil téma, které je mi osobně bližší než rozklad lidského těla - rozklad lidské duše, to jak nás společnost dokáže velice efektivně zlomit, jak je morálka velice snadno ohýbatelná myšlenka. Na Kuličku jsem si za ty měsíce od doby, kdy jsem povídku četla, vzpomněla hned několikrát. Myslím, že se mnou rezonovala tak nečekaně silně i proto, že v době, kdy jsem ji četla, jsem si podobným dilematem (jedinec vs společnost) sama procházela a, k vlastnímu zklamání, jsem se podvolila stejně jako ona. Taky se mi líbilo, jak bylo v povídce zastoupeno hodně společenských vrstev, že se Maupassant jako tolik klasických autorů nesoustředil jen na morální přečiny vyšší vrstvy.
