À propos de cet e-book
À propos de l'auteur
Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) stands as a towering figure in 19th-century French literature, renowned for his masterful short stories and novels that delve into the complexities of human nature and society. Born in Normandy, Maupassant's early life was marked by the Franco-Prussian War, an experience that profoundly influenced his writing. He was a protégé of Gustave Flaubert, who mentored him and introduced him to the literary circles of Paris.Maupassant's works are celebrated for their economy of style, keen observations, and often cynical portrayal of life. His stories frequently explore themes of madness, the supernatural, and the darker sides of human experience, reflecting the anxieties of a rapidly changing world. His ability to capture the subtleties of everyday life and the intricacies of human relationships has earned him a lasting place in the literary canon.Controversy was never far from Maupassant, whose personal life was as tumultuous as his fiction. He was known for his libertine lifestyle, which included numerous love affairs and a penchant for the bohemian. His later years were marred by syphilis, which led to his mental decline and eventual death in a Paris asylum.Maupassant's influence extends far beyond his own time, impacting writers such as Anton Chekhov and O. Henry, who admired his concise storytelling and psychological depth. His revolutionary ideas about the human psyche and societal norms continue to resonate, making him a timeless figure whose works are still studied and appreciated today.
