Abstract

Tran Quang Nghiep is an exceptionally excellent writer in the national language literature of Southern Vietnam. In literary context of the early twentieth century, Tran Quang Nghiep’s work is an expression of movement and development to a modern level through acquisiting of achievements from the nineteenth century French short stories. The acquisition and creativity of Tran Quang Nghiep's stories are expressed through a process of adapting Maupassant’s short stories following the ideological and moral nationalization trend based on a spiritual basis, way to resolve conflicts and human behavior of Southern people, localization in terms of space and time, and characters closely Southern context. His stories retain content and idea but sometimes change a character and some details to mitigate facts. This selective acquisition asserted his talent and pioneer writer in early period influenced by Western culture.
