Bøger af Guy de Maupassant

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.

Why did his heart palpitate so wildly at the slightest sound? He began to reason philosophically on the possibility of being afraid. No, certainly he was not, since he was ready to fight. Still he felt so deeply moved that he wondered if one could be afraid in spite of oneself. What would happen if that state of things should exist? If he should tremble or lose his presence of mind?

"I entered literary life as a meteor, and I shall leave it like a thunderbolt. " These words of Maupassant to Jose Maria de Heredia on the occasion of a memorable meeting are, in spite of their morbid solemnity, not an inexact summing up of the brief career during which, for ten years, the writer, by turns undaunted and sorrowful, with the fertility of a master hand produced poetry, novels, romances and travels, only to sink prematurely into the abyss of madness and death.....This book contains all thirteen volumes of his original short stories. Includes unique illustrations.

Résumé Madame Husson, éprise de pureté et de vertu, s'est mis en tête de faire couronner la rosière de Gisors, c'est-à-dire la jeune fille la plus respectueuse. Après une enquête menée par sa bonne, l'intraitable Françoise, elle comprend qu'aucune fille de la ville ne répond aux critères énoncés. Elle ne trouve alors guère que le fils de la fruitière, Isidore, jeune homme simple et candide. Après avoir demandé conseil à l'abbé Malou, Isidore est couronné rosier en grande cérémonie. Le repas terminé, il disparaît avec la bourse qu'on lui a donnée. On le retrouve huit jours plus tard, ivre et dégoûtant.
