It was also during this period that Maupassant began his career as a journalist, devoting his spare time to writing novels and short stories. After the war, Maupassant returned to Paris where Flaubert introduced him to other important novelists in the realist and naturalist schools, including Émile Zola, Ivan Turgenev, and Edmond de Goncourt. His education was interrupted by the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war, during which time Maupassant served as an officer in the artillery corps. In 1867, he was introduced to the prominent French novelist Gustave Flaubert, who took the young Maupassant under his wing and encouraged him to study law in Paris.
Maupassant demonstrated an early interest in literature as a high school student in Rouen, where he began writing poetry and acted in several plays. Guy de Maupassant was born to a wealthy family in Tourville-sur-Arques, France, in 1850.
