Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to shortly trace the course of the days in Cluj devoted to Maupassant’s actuality in the 21st century: all the communications approached the main aspects of this writer’s work either by punctiliously deepening certain short stories (« Une partie de campagne », « La Maison Tellier ») and, of course, some questions concerning ethos, enunciation, ellipses or characters’ typology; or discussing some themes as travels, children, illegitimate paternity, animals, music, sport; or even trying to identify some issues, i.e. fantastic, fetishism, report to money, contacts with impressionism; and finally presenting the implications supposed by some of the film adaptations of the Maupassant’s text (Bel-Ami).
