Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Set during the Franco-Prussian war, Butterball is a sympathetic portrayal of a prostituteâs mistreatment at the hands of a cold-hearted bourgeoisie. It is published here with a selection of stories about prostitutes, making this a unique collection. When Butterballâs carriage is halted by Prussian soldiers, they demand her sexual services as ransom. Her fellow passengersÂhitherto disdainful of her companyÂare suddenly more than happy to benefit from her Âimmoralâ trade. But Butterball is a loyal French nationalist, and she refuses to sleep with the enemy. Through the warmth and generosity of his heroine, Maupassant exposes the hypocrisy of the French middle class. French writer Guy de Maupassant is most famous for his short stories, which depict the humdrum fate of the middle and working classes.
