Ball of Fat (Boule de Suif) (1880) by Guy de Maupassant | Full Audiobook | Classic French Literature

Guy de Maupassant’s Ball of Fat (Boule de Suif, 1880) is a brilliant and biting short story set during the Franco-Prussian War.

A group of French citizens flee Rouen in a stagecoach, including a wealthy merchant, a count, two nuns, and a prostitute known as “Ball of Fat.” When their journey is halted by a Prussian officer demanding an unthinkable sacrifice, Maupassant exposes the hypocrisy, greed, and cruelty hidden beneath polite society.

This powerful tale of morality and human weakness remains one of the masterpieces of 19th-century literature.

This complete audiobook presents Maupassant’s story in full, translated from the French original.
