Henri Rene Albert Guy de Maupassant 1850-1893 France Guy de Maupassant was a remarkably skillful writer. His literary output included six novels, countless newspaper articles, poetry, plays, three collections of travel sketches, and over 300 short stories. It is for his brilliant short stories that he is most remembered. Family Guy de Maupassant was born August 5, 1850, in Normandy, in northwestern France. Although his parents were wealthy, his childhood was unhappy. His father, Gustave, was a member of the ancient French nobility. He was a stock broker, gambler, and amateur painter. Maupassant’s mother was Laure Le Poittevin. Maupassant’s parents’ marriage was bitter and unhappy. They separated when their son was 11 years old, and he was raised by his strong, domineering mother. She served as the model for her son's overbearing female characters. Education and Early Career Maupassant was well educated, first at the Lycee Napoleon in Paris and later at the Lycee de Rouen, from which he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1869.

She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of being known, understood, loved, wedded by any rich and distinguished man; and she let herself be married to a little clerk at the Ministry of Public Instruction. She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was as unhappy as though she had really fallen from her proper station, since with women there is neither caste nor rank: and beauty, grace, and charm act instead of family and birth. Natural fineness, instinct for what is elegant, suppleness of wit, are the sole hierarchy, and make from women of the people the equals of the very greatest ladies. When she sat down to dinner, before the round table covered with a tablecloth three days old, opposite her husband, who uncovered the soup tureen and declared with an enchanted air. "Ah, the good pot-au-feu! I don't know anything better than that," she thought of dainty dinners, of shining silverware, of tapestry which peopled the walls with ancient personages and with strange birds flying in the midst of a fairy forest; and she thought of delicious dishes served on marvelous plates, and of the whispered gallantries which you listen to with a sphinxlike smile, while you are eating the pink flesh of a trout or the wings of a quail.

Yvette Samoris "I can tell you a terrible story about the Franco-Prussian war," Monsieur d'Endolin said to some friends assembled in the smoking-room of Baron de Ravot's chateau. "You know my house in the Faubourg de Cormeil, I was living there when the Prussians came, and I had for a neighbor a kind of mad woman, who had lost her senses in consequence of a series of misfortunes. At the age of seven and twenty she had lost her father, her husband, and her newly born child, all in the space of a month. "When death has once entered into a house, it almost invariably returns immediately, as if it knew the way, and the young woman, overwhelmed with grief, took to her bed and was delirious for six weeks. Then a species of calm lassitude succeeded that violent crisis, and she remained motionless, eating next to nothing, and only moving her eyes. Every time they tried to make her get up, she screamed as if they were about to kill her, and so they ended by leaving her continually in bed, and only taking her out to wash her, to change her linen, and to turn her mattress.

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) Formé par Gustave Flaubert mais proche d’Emile Zola Guy de Maupassant est un conteur et un romancier , à la charnière du réalisme et du naturalisme. Il excelle à rendre les hantises et les abîmes de la vie intérieure. La jeunesse : Né en Normandie près de Dieppe, Maupassant vit ses jeunes années au bord de la mer, seul avec sa mère séparée de son mari. Pendant la guerre de 1870, Maupassant s'engage comme garde mobile et assiste à la débâcle de l'armée française. L'écrivain : De 1871 à 1880, il occupe de petits emplois dans différents ministères, tout en apprenant le métier d'écrivain auprès de Flaubert, ami d'enfance de sa mère. C'est une nouvelle, Boule de Suif, qui lui vaut ses premiers succès. Il s'élève tout d'un coup au premier plan de l'actualité littéraire. De 1880 à 1891, il publie environ trois cents nouvelles et contes réunis en dix-huit volumes, ainsi que six romans. La maladie et la mort : La santé de Maupassant se détériore malgré une constitution apparemment robuste, et son équilibre intellectuel s'en trouve affecté. Des hallucinations accompagnent ses angoisses. Après un suicide manqué, il est interné dans une maison de santé où il meurt fou âgé de quarante-trois ans. Il avait dit : « Je suis entré dans la vie littéraire comme un météore, j'en sortirai par un coup de tonnerre. » Sa vision du monde : - Elle est pessimiste et désespérée. Il n’a aucune confiance dans la vie

Unable to accept discipline in school, he joined the army during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. Then for seven years he apprenticed himself to Gustave Flaubert, a distant relative, who attempted to teach him to write. Maupassant remembered, "I wrote verses, short stories, longer stories, even a wretched play. Nothing survived. The master read everything. Then the following Sunday at lunch, he developed his criticisms." Flaubert taught Maupassant that talent "is nothing other than a long patience. Work." In 1880 Maupassant caused a sensation with the publication of his story "Boule de Suif" ("Ball of Fat"), a dramatic account of prostitution and bourgeois hypocrisy. During the next decade, before his gradual incapacitation and death from syphilis, he published nearly 300 stories. Characterized by compact and dramatic narrative lines, they read as modern short stories, eliminating the moral judgments and the long digressions used my many earlier writers. Along with his younger contemporary Anton Chekhov, Maupassant is responsible for technical advances that moved the short story toward an austerity that has marked it ever since.

Guy de Maupassant A utor francés considerado como uno de los grandes maestros del relato breve de la literatura universal. Nació en el Château de Miromesnil, en Normandía, y estudió en Yvetot y Ruán. Durante su juventud fue miembro de un grupo literario surgido en torno al célebre novelista Gustave Flaubert, que era íntimo amigo de la familia. Fue el propio Flaubert quien formó a Maupassant en el arte de la creación literaria. La primera obra importante de Maupassant fue el relato breve Bola de sebo (1880), incluido en el volumen Las veladas de Médan y considerado su obra maestra en ese género. En los 13 años siguientes escribió más de doscientos relatos, entre los que destacan Mademoiselle Fifi (1882) y el famoso La Parure (1884). La obra de Maupassant se caracteriza por sus variaciones sobre el tema de la crueldad humana, su realismo y su estilo sencillo. Maupassant es también autor de tres colecciones de recuerdos de viajes y seis novelas: Una vida (1883), que narra la enternecedora historia de las desventuras de una mujer casada; Bel Ami (1885), basada en el personaje de un periodista sin escrúpulos;

Maupassant, Guy de (1850-1893). Né le 5 août 1850 au château de Miromesnil en Normandie, Guy de Maupassant fit ses études à Rouen, avant d'occuper un poste de fonctionnaire à Paris. Son éducation littéraire se fit auprès de Flaubert, auquel sa famille était liée. Son tout premier récit, qu'il avait écrit pour le recueil des Soirées de Medan, fut une nouvelle naturaliste, Boule-de-Suif (1880), qui le fit connaître des milieux littéraires parisiens. L'héroïne de cette nouvelle cynique est une prostituée candide ; celle-ci, à l'occasion d'un épisode scabreux, y apparaît bien plus respectable que les honnêtes bourgeois prêts à la sacrifier sans état d'âme à un officier allemand. On trouve déjà là une thématique récurrente dans les nouvelles de Maupassant, celle de la très ordinaire monstruosité des êtres humains. Le style des nouvelles de Maupassant reprend quelques-uns des traits typiques de l'écriture réaliste et de l'école naturaliste. Ses récits comportent en outre des mots empruntés au patois normand (comme les romans de Barbey d'Aurevilly) ; les propos et les pensées des personnages sont d'ailleurs rapportés au style indirect libre, ce qui permet de mêler étroitement leurs idiolectes (langages spécifiques) à la narration. Entre réalisme et fantastique, les contes et nouvelles qui suivirent Boule-de-suif ont généralement pour cadre les paysages de la Normandie paysanne ou les cercles parisiens. On doit à Maupassant plus de trois cents nouvelles, qui furent publiées dans des recueils, dont les principaux sont

Home Authors Titles Keyword Search ... Reference Guy de Maupassant Henry-rené-albert-guy De Maupassant, or Guy de Maupassant, is generally considered to be the greatest French writer of short stories. One account says the location of his birth was the Château de Miromesnil, in Dieppe, though this is not certain. His paternal ancestors were of the minor aristocracy, and his maternal grandfather, Paul Le Poittevin, was Gustave Flaubert's godfather. His parents separated when he was 11 years old. Maupassant was gifted with a photographic memory, which aided him in recollecting events and characters for his stories. As a teenager, Maupassant was shown, by the poet Algernon Swinburne (1837-1909), a mummified hand. He used this haunting image in his early short story La Main Ecorchée (1875). In 1869 Maupassant started to study law in Paris, but soon, at age 20, he volunteered to serve in the army during Franco-Prussian War. After his return to Paris, Maupassant joined the literary circle of Gustave Flaubert, who introduced him to some of the leading writers of his day, including Émile Zola, Ivan Turgenev, and Henry James. Flaubert saw Maupassant regularly and schooled him in the craft of being a writer. From 1872 to 1880, Maupassant worked as a civil servant, first at the ministry of maritime affairs, then at the ministry of education. Toward the end of this time, Maupassant published his first poetry
