法国19世纪文学家莫泊桑擅长撰写短篇小说,他与俄国的契诃夫、美国的欧·亨利并称世界三大短篇小说大王。他的短篇小说的题材非常丰富。本部短篇集收录了:《那次代价昂贵的骑马》、《莫兰这只猪》、 《可恶的面包》、《约会》。 《那次代价昂贵的骑马》讽刺了贵族身份给人带来的重负和压力。《莫兰这只猪》文章篇幅简短,情节紧凑,始终围绕“莫兰这只猪”的事件。《可恶的面包》文章情节设计精巧。文章读来轻快,但是结尾却意味深长,发人深省。《约会》是法国19世纪后半期优秀的批判现实主义作家莫泊桑对当时社会真实的生活写照,羡慕上流社会,追求虚荣,已经成为小资产阶级人民普遍的心理特征。莫泊桑用简朴无华的语言、细节、故事和背景淋漓尽致地反映出在金钱统治的社会里,重财轻情地价值观念已大大支配了人们的道德行为。

That Costly Ride criticizes that lordship bring people with heavy burden and pressure. That Pig Of A Morin has brief contents and tight plots. The whole novel centers on one key event. The ending of The Accursed Bread is of profound meaning. The story is easy-reading and plots are well designed.
