Bøger af Guy de Maupassant

Le narrateur est Léon Chenal, un vieux peintre, qui est parti d'Étretat pour aller visiter les ruines de Tancarville. Il se trouve dans un break avec six autres personnes et décide de raconter à ses compagnons le plus lamentable amour de sa vie. À l'époque, il était un jeune peintre qui allait d'une auberge à l'autre pour étudier la nature. Et comme cela un soir il s'est trouvé dans le petit village Bénouville. Il s'est logé dans une auberge où il y avait une Anglaise, qui s'était arrêtée six semaines auparavant pour passer l'hiver. Cette dame était une vieille fille qui s'appelait Miss Harriet. Dans le village on ne l'aimait point, les paysans croyaient qu'elle était une hérétique parce qu'elle distribuait à tout le monde des livres de propagande protestante. Mais, en fait, c'était une femme d'une moralité parfaite, juste une excentrique, elle ne parlait jamais à table, mangeait vite et en lisant son petit livre protestant. Elle était maigre, sèche, une carne comme disaient les paysans.

Cette pièce est tirée de la nouvelle L'Enfant qui raconte l'histoire de Jacques Bourdillère. Ce dernier, un célibataire endurci, est tombé sous le charme d'une jeune fille en la voyant se baigner à la mer. Il devient amoureux très rapidement, fait sa demande en mariage, mais les parents hésitent à cause des multiples liaisons qu'on lui prête et d'une vieille maitresse attitrée. Il chasse la vieille maîtresse qui, désespérée, lui écrit lettre sur lettre, lettre qui partent toutes à la poubelle sans être ouvertes. Il se fait une vie rangée, et le printemps suivant sa demande est acceptée. Le soir du mariage, en rentrant dans la chambre nuptiale, il reçoit un courrier très urgent. Un docteur lui écrit qu'une fille Ravet vient d'accoucher, que l'enfant est le sien, selon la fille, et que la mère va mourir: elle lui demande un dernier entretien. Quand il arrive, elle est en train d'agoniser, tuée par une hémorragie que la glace dont on l'a entourée ne parvient pas à stopper. Elle lui jure que son enfant est le sien et meurt quelques heures plus tard, apaisée par la promesse qu'il lui a fait de s'occuper de l'enfant. Quand il rentre à cinq heures du matin, l'air hagard, il avoue tout à sa femme qui lui répond: Eh bien, nous l'élèverons ce petit .

Mademoiselle Fifi traite, comme plusieurs histoires de Maupassant rédigées après la guerre de 1870, du contraste entre Français et Allemands. Les officiers allemands dépeints dans le roman sont typiques du ressentiment français d'après 1870 envers les Allemands: ce sont tous des brutes teutonnes blonds ou roux portant des barbes et d'énormes moustaches. Pompeux, ils n'ont aucune culture et obéissent aveuglément à n'importe quel ordre. Violent, immoral, arrogant, prenant plaisir à détruire sans raison les objets de collection et les oeuvres d'art inestimables du château qu'il occupe, Fifi lui-même est un condensé des pires stéréotypes touchant aux Allemands. Par contraste, Rachel, le principal personnage français, représente l'honneur français dans la défaite. Bien qu'elle appartienne, en tant que prostituée, à une basse classe de la société, et en tant que juive à une catégorie à l'époque méprisée (la nouvelle paraît une douzaine d'années seulement avant l'Affaire Dreyfus), elle incarne les Français ordinaires résistant à leur manière à l'oppression de leurs vainqueurs allemands.

Fiero relato que de una manera irónica y burlona, expone la decadencia e hipocresía de la sociedad francesa de finales del siglo XIX. Maupassant conocía bien tanto la alta esfera de la sociedad como los círculos más bajos de ella, siendo Bola de sebo el relato corto donde expone la condición francesa.

Ce recueil, publié en 1900, réunit des récits de Maupassant parus dans les journaux entre 1882 et 1887 (surtout en 1883). Ils se présentent sous des formes très souples, billets d'humeur, anecdotes, nouvelles. Certains donnent à rire ou à sourire: ainsi ceux qui concernent le bourgeois, que l'auteur place dans des situations inattendues, voire cocasses. Mais d'autres mettent en scène des êtres à la sensibilité blessée par la vie. Maupassant a toujours considéré celle-ci comme absurde et cruelle. Le sentiment d'abandon, l'inquiétude, la disparité sans remède - selon lui - entre l'homme et la femme, la guerre, fléau majeur, tout cela inspire à l'écrivain hanté par la mort des pages qui, par les mots et les objets les plus simples, suscitent une prenante impression de solitude, voire un fantastique intérieur.

Les Contes du jour et de la nuit est un recueil de contes de Guy de Maupassant paru en 1885.

Boule de suif est un chef-d'oeuvre, écrivait Gustave Flaubert. Même si ce n'est pas la première nouvelle de Guy de Maupassant, c'est le récit qui l'a imposé comme un maître. D'abord parue dans le recueil collectif des soirées de Médan, l'histoire, inspirée d'un fait divers, se déroule pendant la guerre de 1870: dix personnes fuyant Rouen envahie par les Prussiens ont pris place dans une diligence. Parmi elles, Élisabeth Rousset, une prostituée surnommée Boule de suif à cause de son embonpoint, se donnera à un officier prussien pour sauver les autres voyageurs qui pourtant la méprisent. L'espace clos de la diligence fait ressortir l'hypocrisie et la bassesse des bourgeois. On peut alors distinguer plusieurs thèmes dans cette oeuvre tels que la guerre, l'alimentation et la liberté. Pendant l'hiver, 1870-71, durant la guerre franco-prussienne, la ville de Rouen (Normandie) est envahie par les Prussiens. Pour fuir l'occupation, dix personnes prennent la diligence de Dieppe: un couple de commerçants, un couple de bourgeois, un couple de nobles, deux religieuses, un démocrate et enfin la jeune Boule de suif. Le voyage s'annonce difficile: les voyageurs ont faim et seule la jeune femme a pensé à emporter des provisions, qu'elle partage généreusement. Les voyageurs font un arrêt la nuit dans une auberge à Tôtes (sur le modèle de l'auberge du cygne), occupée par les Prussiens. Le lendemain, ils ne peuvent pas partir, l'officier prussien exerce un chantage, Boule de suif doit coucher avec lui s'ils veulent repartir, mais elle refuse. Au début, tous sont choqués par le comportement du Prussien, mais les jours passant et l'ennui s'installant, ils font pression sur Boule de suif qui finit par accepter. Le lendemain, les voyageurs ignorent Boule de suif qui n'a pas pu faire de provisions alors que les autres avaient préparé leur déjeuner. Aucun d'eux ne donnera ne serait-ce qu'un petit morceau de pain à la jeune femme. L'histoire se termine sur Boule de suif en larmes.

Boule de suif est la nouvelle qui a imposé Guy de Maupassant sur la scène literaire française et mondiale. L'histoire suive dix personnes fuyant Rouen pendant la guerre Franco-Prussienne de 1870 dans une diligence. Parmi eux une prostituée surnommée Boule de suif qui devrait décider si se donner à un officier prussien pour sauver les fugitives.

Our mission is to provide the world with beautiful, accessible, illuminating editions of classic horror fiction, introducing these chilling gems to new generations, making them gorgeously illustrated and giving you critical, historical, and artistic insights with every single story. This is one of those books. BUILDING on the weird tales of Hoffmann and Poe, FITZ-JAMES O'BRIEN is one of horror and fantasy literature's best hidden secrets. His astonishingly original forays into speculative fiction include an army of possessed Christmas dolls, the sudden and short-lived manifestation of an invisible monster, a disappearing room possessed by cannibal spirits, a murderous scientist's discovery of a microscopic woman in a drop of water, a child's symbiotic relationship to a grave, and a haunted gallows-tree. BEFORE succumbing to the insanity that ravaged his later life, GUY DE MAUPASSANT established a reputation as France's preeminent short story writer, an artist whose cynical and macabre visions paralleled those of Hoffmann and Poe, and directly influenced those of Ambrose Bierce, Mark Twain, and H.P. Lovecraft. His stories are nightmarescapes of psychopathy, corruption, and decadence, featuring a serial-killer judge, a maddening episode of cabin fever (which influenced The Shinning), a gruesome discovery during a night on the river, the inexplicable exodus of a man's walking furniture, the famous invisible vampire, the Horla, werewolves, haunted rooms, neglected ghosts, and vivid affairs of necrophilia. This unique and unrivalled edition of their best weird tales, fantasies, and mysteries includes critical introductions to each story, contextual information, and chilling illustrations that breathe life into their Gothic visions and bizarre fantasias.

Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (5 August 1850 - 6 July 1893) was a French writer, remembered as a master of the short story form, and as a representative of the naturalist school of writers, who depicted human lives and destinies and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms.
