Book Description
After devoting their energies and income for ten years to replacing a borrowed diamond necklace which they have lost, a woman and her husband learn the irony of their efforts.
About the Author
GUY DE MAUPASSANT (1850-1893) had a profound influence on French literature, and his writing is of pivotal importance in the historical development of the short story, inspiring writers such as Ambrose Bierce, O Henry and Henry James. The majority of his three hundred short stories and six novels was written between 1880 and 1890, a period in which he also contributed to several Parisian daily newspapers. He died in 1893.
ISAK DINESEN (1885-1962) is the nom de plume of the Danish writer Karen Blixen. She studied art in Copenhagen, Paris and Rome before marrying and moving to Kenya to live on a farm. In 1934 Dinesen made her literary debut with the publication of Seven Gothic Tales, followed in 1937 by Out of Africa, an account of her life in Kenya which was later turned into a highly successful film starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. She died in 1962.

The Best Kept Secret for ESL Teachers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Necklace: Based on the Necklace, a Short Story by Guy De Maupassant (Hardcover)
ESL teachers you don't know what you're missing. Students love this play, get excellent practice with pronunciation, and even become familiar with the Guy de Maupassant original. Lots of humor and a much more satisfying ending than the original.
