I read somewhere that Maupassant wrote ten short stories on the 1870 war between France and Prussia. I know "Boule de suif", "Deux amis", "Un duel", "Madame Sauvage" and "Mademoiselle Fifi".

What are the five other stories?

  • Are you sure that all of the latter ten were truly by Maupassant? There's a number of short stories which have been falsely attributed to him, including at least one ("The Lancer’s Wife" / "La Uhlane" by Richepin) set during the Franco-Prussian war.

  • I've cast the final votes to undelete and reopen your question, now that it's been restricted to a single query, and I see you've posted the second one as a new question. Now hopefully you can get answers to both :-) (cc @Tsundoku)

It appears that Maupassant wrote eleven short stories that are set during the Franco-Prussian war, unless I overlooked one (or more).
