The Robber and the Mad Author’s Night of Pranks
A translated tale by Guy de Maupassant recounts four young artists in a Paris studio who trap a robber, capture a frightened old man, and debate executing him. After a tense pursuit and flawed justice, the group outsources the case to police, then returns to their raucous revelry with the prisoner in tow. The narrator ends by asserting every word of the tale is true.
