- Abstract
The novel is set in Paris in the upper-middle class environment of the leading journalists of the newspaper La Vie Française and their friends. It tells the story of Georges Duroy, who has spent three years in military service in Algeria. After working for six months as a clerk in Paris, an encounter with his former comrade, Forestier, enables him to start a career as a journalist. From a reporter of minor events and soft news, he gradually climbs his way up to chief editor. Duroy initially owes his success to Forestier's wife, Madeleine, who helps him write his first articles and, when he later starts writing lead articles, she adds an edge and poignancy to them. At the same time, she uses her connections among leading politicians to provide him with behind the scenes information which allows him to become actively involved in politics. Duroy is also introduced to many politicians in Madame Forestier's drawing-room. Duroy becomes the lover of Forestiers'friend Mme de Marelle, another influential woman. Duroy later tries to seduce Madeleine Forestier to get even with her husband, but she repulses Duroy's sexual advances and offers that they become true friends without ulterior motives.

- Abstract
À noite, o bombardeio lança sobre esquinas inteiras da cidade as dilacerações de seus obuses, o terror de sua matança anônima; de dia, espreita-se em vão as profundezas nevadas do céu à espera do voo de um pombo correio que traga sob suas asas o anúncio de, ao menos, uma vitória longínqua, uma informação, ainda que vaga, sobre o que se passa com os parentes distantes na província que se imagina devastada, presa de todos os horrores. Mas os balões saem todo dia levando cartas eternamente sem resposta. O frio, a geada, as balas prussianas terrivelmente certeiras tornam cada vez mais raros os retornos dos torcazes aos pombais, e a sede de notícias é tão grande, a ansiedade tal, que se compram três, quatro jornais em vinte e quatro horas. Todos se repetem; entretanto, quando um vendedor passa gritando:'Vejam as últimas notícias, detalhes precisos do ataque', cabeças aparecem nas janelas embaçadas das casas, os apelos reverberam, mulheres, crianças descem, dão seu sou e, de pé, na rua, leem a folha impressa, febrilmente. A folha repete o que a folha precedente contou, reproduz as mesmas informações, copia os mesmos despachos e, entretanto, dali a pouco, correrão à porta das subprefeituras, vasculhando nos gradis de ferro, onde se colam os avisos administrativos, a esmola de não se sabe qual oficial que seria uma notícia. A esperança abandonou de tal modo os corações que não se conta mais com o anúncio de um sucesso: pede-se apenas uma mudança de tédio. Henry Céard – A sangria.

Guy de Maupassant and Guy de Maupassant
- Abstract
Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) war ein französischer Schriftsteller und Journalist. Maupassant gilt neben Stendhal, Balzac, Flaubert und Zola als einer der großen französischen Erzähler des 19. Jahrhunderts. Er ist auch einer der am häufigsten verfilmten Autoren. Inhalt: Ein Menschenleben Der Liebling (Bel Ami) (Übersetzung von Georg Freiherrn von Ompteda) Bel Ami (Übersetzung von Fürst N. Obolensky) Mont Oriol Hans und Peter / Pierre et Jean (Übersetzung von Georg Freiherrn von Ompteda) Zwei Brüder (Pierre et Jean) Stark wie der Tod Unser Herz Ein Menschenleben (Une vie) ist der erste Roman von Guy de Maupassant. Jeanne, die Tochter des Barons Simon-Jacques und der Baronin Adélaïde, ist eine junge Adelige, die mit 17 Jahren das Kloster verlässt, um ein'richtiges Leben'zu führen. Sie zieht aus dem elterlichen Haus aus, um mit ihrem zukünftigen Ehemann Julien de Lamare in einem Schloss, das ihr von den Eltern vermacht wird, zu leben. Diesen hat sie einige Tage nach ihrem Ausscheiden aus dem Kloster kennengelernt. Bel-Ami beschreibt den beruflichen und gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg des ehemaligen Unteroffiziers Georges Duroy im Paris des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts. Duroy macht schnell dank seiner Bekanntschaften mit mehreren hochgestellten Damen Karriere. Pierre und Jean ist ein naturalistischer Roman. Die beiden Brüder Pierre und Jean Roland aus Le Havre sind ganz unterschiedliche Charaktere. Im Lauf der Geschichte stellt sich heraus, warum das so ist: sie haben unterschiedliche Väter. Die Mutter gesteht ihrem Sohn Jean, was sein Bruder Pierre in intensiven Nachforschungen herausgefunden hat: sein Vater war Léon Maréchal, ein längst in Vergessenheit geratener Freund der Familie...

Guy de Maupassant and Guy de Maupassant
- Abstract
Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author's brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens'across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.Guy de Maupassant is justly revered as one of the strongest proponents of the short story. The miniature gems he created are woven from the many worlds and strata of society that surrounded him. From feuds and revenge to tales of avarice and friendship de Maupassant is the master of all and second to none.

- Abstract
Los mejores relatos policiacos de los grandes narradores de la literatura universal. Desde que a mediados del siglo XIX Edgar Allan Poe fijara las reglas del género detectivesco, este obtuvo rápidamente carta de naturaleza. Un tipo sofisticado de literatura, cuyo punto de referencia estético se basa en la variación de incidentes y hallazgos, tramas narrativas diversas y personajes distintos que comparten un espacio, y en el que se combina la naturalidad en el uso de palabras cotidianas —la «suavidad engañosa» de la que hablaba Raymond Chandler— con la retórica del morbo. El crimen atrae no solo porque es el único acto que podemos «resolver» en relación con la muerte, sino porque además falsea nuestra realidad cotidiana otorgándole una coherencia de la que normalmente suele carecer. La novela clásica se convierte así en novela de investigación, presentando el hecho criminal como un enigma para la razón, como un desafío que será el soporte del pacto entre el texto y sus lectores. La popularidad del relato policiaco fue afianzándose en todo el mundo a lo largo de las décadas posteriores y, aparte de los narradores adscritos únicamente al género, otra clase de escritores no lograron resistirse, como no podía ser menos, a su indudable atractivo y probaron ocasionalmente a hacerlo suyo. De entre estos francotiradores, esta antología presenta a una veintena de autores de primerísima fila que no dudaron en intentarlo, aunque sus notables resultados hayan quedado a menudo sepultados injustamente por sus reconocidas obras mayores. Se trata pues aquí de recuperarlos y comprobar que no solo salieron airosos del reto, sino que destacaron además por su original enfoque y la depurada calidad de su prosa. Walt Whitman, Thomas Hardy, Guy de Maupassant, Antón Chéjov, Benito Pérez Galdós, R. L. Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, Stephen Crane, Jack London, Mark Twain, O Henry, Guillaume Apollinaire, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Jospeh Conrad, Saki, Franz Kafka, Katherine Mansfield, Edith Wharton y Arthur Machen.

Elle est composée du récit, mais également d'une célèbre préface intitulée « Le roman », dans laquelle Maupassant développe des considérations générales sur le roman, tout en affirmant paradoxalement que ces idées pourraient s'opposer à'l'étude psychologique'qu'est Pierre et Jean. Le roman n'a donc pas pour fonction d'illustrer la préface.

- Abstract
Maupassant a écrit chaque semaine pendant presque dix ans dans les journaux Le Gaulois et Gil Blas ; on peut donc estimer le nombre de chroniques, nouvelles ou contes à près de mille.Cet ouvrage contient ses nouvelles qui ont paru sous forme de recueil entre 1886 et 1890 :Monsieur Parent (1886)La Petite Roque (1886)Le Horla (1887)Le Rosier de Mme Husson (1888)La Main gauche (1889)L'Inutile Beauté (1890)À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURHenry-René-Albert-Guy de Maupassant est un écrivain et journaliste littéraire français né le 5 août 1850 au château de Miromesnil à Tourville-sur-Arques (en Seine-Inférieure) et mort le 6 juillet 1893 à Paris.Lié à Gustave Flaubert et à Émile Zola, Maupassant a marqué la littérature française par ses six romans, dont Une vie en 1883, Bel-Ami en 1885, Pierre et Jean en 1887-1888, et surtout par ses nouvelles (parfois intitulées contes) comme Boule de Suif en 1880, les Contes de la bécasse (1883) ou Le Horla (1887). Ces œuvres retiennent l'attention par leur force réaliste, la présence importante du fantastique et par le pessimisme qui s'en dégage le plus souvent, mais aussi par la maîtrise stylistique. La carrière littéraire de Maupassant se limite à une décennie — de 1880 à 1890 — avant qu'il ne sombre peu à peu dans la folie et ne meure peu avant l'âge de 43 ans. Reconnu de son vivant, il conserve un renom de premier plan, renouvelé encore par les nombreuses adaptations filmées de ses œuvres.

- French fiction--19th century
- Abstract
Ce livre contient les trois derniers romans du célèbre écrivain français Guy de Maupassant, parus de 1887 à 1890.Dans Mont-Oriol, Maupassant reprend des thématiques qui lui sont chères à travers une intrigue où se croisent passions amoureuses et enjeux financiers. Venue de Paris en Auvergne avec son mari William, sur les terres du village d'Enval, suivre un traitement thermal contre une prétendue stérilité, Christiane Andermatt découvre l'amour avec Paul Brétigny. Son mari, banquier, spécule quant à lui sans relâche sur des terrains de la région, construisant une nouvelle ville d'eaux pour faire croître sa fortune.Fort comme la mort est le cinquième roman de Guy de Maupassant, commencé en mars 1888, et publié en 1889. Son titre est tiré du Cantique des cantiques : « L'amour est fort comme la mort, et la jalousie est dure comme le sépulcre. » L'œuvre fut éditée en volume, en mai 1889, chez Ollendorff. Olivier Bertin, peintre célèbre et mondain, voit défiler dans son atelier parisien les plus belles femmes de la haute société. Il se montre « difficile et se fait payer fort cher ». Il tombe un jour très amoureux de l'une d'elles, Anne de Guilleroy, séduit par sa grâce et son élégance. Fille d'un riche commerçant, elle est mariée à un député enrichi de la petite noblesse normande et mère d'une fillette de six ans. Elle devient très vite sa maîtresse...Notre cœur est le sixième et dernier roman de Guy de Maupassant. Commencé en mai 1889, il fut d'abord publié dans la Revue des Deux-Mondes en mai et juin 1890, puis en volume en juin chez Ollendorff. Le roman raconte l'histoire d'une femme du monde, froide et sans cœur comme Maupassant en a connu, qui se livre ici plus que dans aucun de ses romans. Le héros, face à cet être fascinant et redoutable, prend une autre maîtresse, qui ne lui suffit guère. Il est dévasté par une passion amoureuse, violente, mélancolique et cruelle.

Guy de Maupassant and Guy de Maupassant
- Abstract
Luego de dos años sirviendo al ejército en Argelia, George Deroy, un joven apuesto y sin escrúpulos, llega a París en busca de un futuro mejor. Rápidamente, su gran atractivo físico y encanto personal le abre las puertas a la gran sociedad parisina. Cuando toma conciencia de sus posibilidades, sus aspiraciones crecen y su ascenso se precipita de manera tan vertiginosa a la misma vez que su actitud moral se degrada. Así, la manipulación y la seducción elevan al protagonista hasta las más altas esferas de París.Publicada en 1885, Bel Ami es una obra emblemática de Guy de Maupassant, uno de los escritores más importantes del siglo XIX. Con una trama que no pierde vigencia, cuenta la historia de un hombre que está dispuesto a alcanzar el éxito a cualquier precio. Esta obra cuenta con múltiples adaptaciones en el cine y el teatro, siendo la más reciente la película Bel Ami (2012) con las actuaciones de Robert Pattinson, Uma Thurman y Christina Ricci. -

A Guerra Franco-Prussiana (1870-1871) deixou marcas profundas na história dos franceses. Derrotada, a França teve seu território invadido e as humilhações impostas pelos soldados prussianos ecoariam por muito tempo na cultura francesa. Não por acaso, diversos dos contos que compõem esta coletânea trazem o episódio como tema ou como pano de fundo: Guy de Maupassant fora voluntário na batalha, e contos como'Srta. Fifi','Dois amigos'e o célebre'Bola de Sebo'acertariam contas com o traumático conflito. Um dos grandes mestres do conto, Maupassant também flertava com o grotesco e com o lado obscuro da mente humana, facetas que se encontram em textos como'O Horla','História de um cão','A morta','A mãe de monstros'e'Miss Harriet', que completam esta coletânea.

- Abstract
¿Por qué como lectores nos atrae tanto la idea de pasar miedo con un ser que no se rige bajo los parámetros y normas habituales de la existencia? ¿Por qué estamos dispuestos a que un escalofrío nos recorra todo el cuerpo al recrearnos en las imágenes más escabrosas que nos proporciona un ser de este u otro mundo, cuyas capacidades escapan a nuestra imaginación? ¿Por qué pasar por esos estados de inquietud y desasosiego con entes de otros mundos, o de este, que el autor nos acerca a nuestra aburrida cotidianidad? ¿Existen mundos paralelos al nuestro donde habitan seres que nos producen sentimientos de terror? Seguramente ninguno de nosotros sabe responder a estas preguntas, que ya se plantean desde tiempos remotos, pero lo que sí podemos asegurar es que la lectura de estos cuentos podrá ayudar al lector inteligente a dar el gran paso de aproximarse a estos mundos de fantasía e imaginación, con el fin de conocer un poco más sobre ellos…, tan solo un poco más.Hemos seleccionado aquí, para su lectura, algunas obras maestras tan conocidas como El guardavías, de Charles Dickens, El hombre de arena, de Hoffmann, La cámara de los tapices, de Walter Scott, Aparición, de Maupassant, Maud-Evelyn, de Henry James, La aparición de Mrs. Veal, de Daniel Defoe y El fantasma de Madam Crowl, de Le Fanu, todas ellas capaces por sí mismas de generar esa sensación de inquietud que, en el fondo, tanto estamos anhelando.
