Guy de Maupassant's Madame Lantin's Jewels : An English Abridgement and Japanese Translation

A new abridged English language version of Guy de Maupassant's short story Madame Lantin's Jewels and a Japanese translation of that abridgement were created in an effort to make nineteenth century European literature more accessible to modern Japanese readers in particular and students of Japanese and English language in general.
