Portrait of Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant, one of the founding masters of the modern short story, captured nineteenth‑century French life with sharp realism and psychological insight. His prose is admired for its clarity, precision and irony, revealing the quiet tragedies and fleeting pleasures of everyday experience.

Whether portraying the moral compromises of provincial society or the restless ambitions of Paris, Maupassant's fiction remains vivid and accessible. Each tale distils human nature with unsparing honesty, making his work a timeless choice for readers who value elegance of style and depth of observation.

  • Fuerte como la muerte Libro bolsillo Spanish

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisMinucioso estudio psicológico, "Fuerte como la muerte" (1889) es la penúltima de las seis novelas que escribió Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893). En esta sugestiva obra que gravita en torno al dolor del descubrimiento de la vejez, el pintor Olivier Bertin, ilustre y rico, cuya carrera ha discurrido siempre a medio camino entre las audacias modernas y la academia, ha llegado a los cincuenta años disimulando con los éxitos la íntima vanidad de su carrera. Inesperadamente, en el ocaso de su vida viene a irrumpir en él la pasión por un ser inalcanzable frente al cual su arte, su éxito y la misma felicidad resultan vanas salvaguardias. Otros títulos del autor en esta colección: "Bel Ami", "El Horla: Cuentos fantásticos y de horror", "Mademoiselle Fifi y otros cuentos de guerra", "Mi tío Jules y otros seres marginales", "La casa Tellier y otros cuentos eróticos" y "Un día de campo y otros cuentos galantes".Traducción de Javier Albiñana

  • Selected Stories of Guy de Maupassant

    Not Stated Selected Stories of Guy de Maupassant

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisA beautiful hardcover selection of the best works by one of the greatest short story writers in world literatureDuring his most productive decade, the 1880s, the French writer Guy de Maupassant wrote more than three hundred stories, notably including The Necklace, Boule de Suif, The Horla, and Mademoiselle Fifi. Marked by the psychological realism that he famously pioneered, the stories selected here take us on a tour of the human experience—lust and love, revenge and ridicule, terror and madness. Many take place in the author''s native Normandy, but the settings range farther abroad as well, from Brittany and Paris to Corsica and the Mediterranean coast, and as far as North Africa and India. Maupassant''s remarkable psychological range and ability to evoke an entire world in a few pages have ensured that his stories have entertained generations of readers, and this volume of thirty-two of his most enduring masterpieces makes a perfect gift for any lover o

  • Alien Hearts

    The New York Review of Books, Inc Alien Hearts

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisAlien Hearts was the last book that Guy de Maupassant finished before his death at the early age of forty-three. It is the most original and psychologically penetrating of his several novels, and the one in which he attains a truly tragic perception of the wounded human heart. André Mariolle is a rich, handsome, gifted young man who cannot settle on what to do with himself. Madame de Burne, a glacially dazzling beauty, wants Mariolle to attend her exclusive salon for artists, composers, writers, and other intellectuals. At first Mariolle keeps his distance, but then he hits on the solution to all his problems: caring for nothing in particular, he will devote himself to being in love; Madame de Burne will be his everything. Soon lover and beloved are equally lost within a hall of mirrors of their common devising. Richard Howard’s new English translation of this complex and brooding novel—the first in more than a hundred years—reveals the final, unexpected flowering of a great French realist’s art.
