Bola de sebo y otros cuentos (Ball of Fat and Other Stories) is a collection of short stories by French author Guy de Maupassant. The stories are known for their vivid realism, irony, and psychological depth. The title story, 'Bola de Sebo' ('Ball of Fat'), is particularly famous and is considered one of Maupassant's masterpieces. It tells the tale of a group of French citizens fleeing the Franco-Prussian War, including a prostitute named Boule de Suif (Ball of Fat), who is both scorned and needed by her fellow travelers. The narrative explores themes of hypocrisy, class prejudice, and the complexity of human nature. The other stories in the collection also delve into various aspects of life in the 19th century, often highlighting the contradictions and moral ambiguities of the time. Maupassant's sharp observation and concise storytelling offer a compelling glimpse into the human condition.
