Short Story: The Two Friends

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A classic by Guy de Maupassant. It is a startling tale that exposes the brutality and futility of war.
"Then they started, terrified, at the sound of footsteps behind them.
Turning, they saw four men covering them with their rifles. The fishing rods fell from the hands of the two friends and began to drift down the river." Read by Neville Jason.
Producer Pam Fraser Solomon
