"Boule de Suif" is a renowned short story by Guy de Maupassant, set during the Franco-Prussian War and included in his collection of wartime tales. The story is considered one of Maupassant's most famous works and has had a notable influence on other artists, with director John Ford likening his film Stagecoach to a Western reinterpretation of it.
