Summary/Abstract: This essay will show the influence of Flaubert’s writings and aesthetical conception on Maupassant’s short stories. For our demonstration, we chose the thematical level and the concept of intertextuality, which can be applied not only on stylistic or semantic microstructures, but also on a literary work as a whole. The examples of intertextuality are based on five fragments of Flaubert’s novels, compared to five fragments (thematically related) of Maupassant’s short stories.
