À propos de cet audio
A stagecoach containing a microcosm of French society seek to escape to Le Havre during the Prussian war. Stopping at an inn along the way, they soon realize they have blundered into Prussian occupied territory.
The travelers are not allowed to leave until one woman, a prostitute known as Boule de Suif, (literally suet dumpling, or ball of fat), sleeps with the commanding officer. This turn of events is met with universal indignation by the travelers. But as the days stretch out, everyone’s true colors are revealed.
Perhaps his most famous story, Guy de Maupassant’s masterful style, craft, and ability are all on full display. Adaptations of the story have made it to film, radio, and even opera, notably the 1939 John Ford film, Stagecoach.
