Story0
Palla di burro è il titolo di una novella di Guy de Maupassant, un piccolo capolavoro, una "favola per adulti", come è stata opportunamente definita. Scritta nel 1880 si ispira alla guerra franco-prussiana del 1870 e rappresenta una delle espressioni più elevate dell'ironia e della satira antiborghese della letteratura mondiale. Si racconta del viaggio in diligenza che una ragazza dalla discutibile moralità si appresta a fare in compagnia di alcune cosiddette "persone per bene".

Young bride Christiane arrives in the picturesque Auvergne region to take the waters with her husband, who is humorously described as a sickly flower or a shaved piglet. What she anticipates as a serene family getaway quickly spirals into a web of intrigue, where her father, the Marquis, and a rather antiquated medical team conspire over the pressing issue of producing an heir. Amidst the chaos, the emergence of a new spa disrupts the status quo, elevating a humble family to unexpected heights. With elements of romantic tension, financial scheming, sharp satire on the medical field, and a ...

Guy de Maupassant is widely regarded as the father of the modern short story. As his 13 volumes of short stories attest, he was a prolific writer of this form. He had a simple, efficient style of writing and, like Anton Chekhov, found inspiration for his stories in the day-to-day lives of characters, in which their hidden natures are often revealed. Many of his works also centered on the Franco-Prussian War, in which he served.

Guy de Maupassant is revered for his naturalistic fiction, which brilliantly captures flesh-and-blood characters as it evokes the most telling details of everyday life. Considered one of the finest French novels ever written, Bel Ami follows journalist Georges Duroy and his increasing stature among the Paris elite. With an immense thirst for power, Georges is not above an almost gleeful use of wealthy mistresses to achieve his ends.

Journal intime où l’inquiétude enfle jour après jour, Le Horla (1887) est une nouvelle d’épouvante de Guy de Maupassant. À travers des notations quotidiennes, une voix solitaire consigne des troubles d’abord imperceptibles, puis une angoisse qui gagne, jusqu’à ne plus savoir si le monde extérieur vacille ou si c’est la raison qui se fissure. Écrit à la première personne, ce récit court et fiévreux nous entraîne au plus près d’un esprit assiégé, au bord du réel. Une immersion hypnotique dans le malaise et le doute, qui laisse planer une menace indescriptible à chaque page.

Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was born on August 5th, 1850, near Dieppe in France. In 1880 he published what is considered his first great work, ‘Boule de Suif’, (translated as as ‘Dumpling’, ‘Butterball’, ‘Ball of Fat’, or ‘Ball of Lard’), which met with a success that was both instant and overwhelming. Flaubert at once acknowledged that it was ‘a masterpiece that will endure.’ Maupassant had used his talents and experiences in the war to create something unique.

Guy De Maupassant is considered one of the fathers of the modern short story and one of the form's finest exponents. The story "Boule de Suif", written in 1880, is his masterpiece. A protege of Flaubert, Maupassant's stories are characterized by their economy of style and efficient, effortless dénouements. Many of the stories are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s and several describe the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught in the conflict, emerge changed. He authored some 300 short stories.
