About this book

"Mademoiselle Fifi" by Guy de Maupassant is a short story published in 1882. Set during the Franco-Prussian War, the story unfolds in a Norman chateau occupied by bored Prussian officers. To break their monotony, they host a raucous dinner party with local prostitutes. When the arrogant sub-lieutenant known as "Mademoiselle Fifi" makes one provocation too many, a Jewish prostitute named Rachel takes a dramatic stand that transforms her into an unlikely symbol of resistance against the German occupation.
