Les nouvelles de Maupassant ont révélé tout le génie et toute la particularité de cet auteur, qui a mis le fantastique, l'histoire de genre, et la nouvelle normande sur un pied d'égalité en littérature. Les mots racontent simplement une histoire mais c'est tout un monde qui est mis en place et toute une époque qui nous est donnée à entendre.

Ce livre audio comprend les nouvelles : Mademoiselle Fifi, Madame Baptiste, La Rouille et Marroca. Quatre textes dans lesquels Maupassant fait montre de son talent à la fois de conteur d'histoires, et de critique de l'âme humaine, les bassesses et les maladresses sont racontées avec réalisme, mais aussi avec tendresse.
