Fun and intriguing stories are an integral part of every dinner party.

In Paris, a man chats with friends after dinner and recounts the story of his recent visit to a brothel. After choosing a woman, he follows her back to her apartment for the night but is shocked when he hears a noise coming from the wardrobe...

Short yet impactful, ´The Wardrobe´ is perfect for fans of Guy de Maupassant's work and readers of French Literature.

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a famous French writer, best known as one of the finest practitioners of the short story.

Master of style and dramatic narrative, Maupassant’s stories are mainly interested in the relationships between men and women, often found at the crossroads of life.

One of his greatest influences was Gustave Flaubert, who introduced him to some of the central names of the time, such as Émile Zola, Henry James, and Ivan Turgenev.

Some of his best-known works include the novels "Bel Ami" and "Une Vie", more than 300 short stories, travel books, and even an attempt at poetry. ‘Bel Ami’ was made into a film in 2012, starring Uma Thurman, Robert Pattinson, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
