H.H. Munro (1870-1916), better known by his pen name Saki, was a British author and journalist, famous for his witty, darkly comic short stories and satirical works. Saki began his career as a journalist and gained popularity for his contributions to The Westminster Gazette and The Morning Post. Some of his notable works are - "The Open Window" (1914) that features a man tricked by a young girl in a twist of irony, "The Interlopers" (1919) portrays two feuding men trapped by nature, and "The Unbearable Bassington" (1912) satirizes a charming yet irresponsible aristocrat. Saki's works often feature themes of social class, the absurdity of societal conventions, and the consequences of indulgence or selfishness. His characters are typically witty and full of charm but reveal a lack of deeper morality or purpose. It focuses on the upper class, poking fun at their pretensions, laziness, and moral shortcomings, and challenging traditional notions of authority, propriety, and social decorum.

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a prolific French writer who is best known for his ever-popular classic novels The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.

Guy de Maupassant was a French writer and poet considered to be one of the pioneers of the modern short story whose best-known works include "Boule de Suif," "Mother Sauvage," and "The Necklace." De Maupassant was heavily influenced by his mother, a divorcée who raised her sons on her own, and whose own love of the written word inspired his passion for writing. While studying poetry in Rouen, de Maupassant made the acquaintance of Gustave Flaubert, who became a supporter and life-long influence for the author. De Maupassant died in 1893 after being committed to an asylum in Paris.
