| Notes | Collection of six short stories by six different writers associated with Naturalism. All the stories concern the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
The aim of the collection was to promote the ideals of Naturalism, by treating the events of the Franco-Prussian War in a realistic and often unheroic way, in contrast to officially approved patriotic views of the war.
The stories:
L'Attaque du Moulin, by Émile Zola
Boule de Suif, by Guy de Maupassant
Sac au dos, by J.-K. Huysmans
La Saignée, by Henry Céard
L'Affaire du Grand 7, by Léon Hennique
Après la bataille, by Paul Alexis |
