"Amo la noche con pasión. La amo como uno ama a su país o a su amante, con un amor instintivo, profundo, invencible...". Así comienza Maupassant su agitado paseo nocturno por los bulevares de París, que Toño Benavides iluminará para seguir al protagonista sin nombre de este fantástico relato, uno de los mejores de su autor.

"Dans la banlieue de Paris vivait une famille de bourgeois riches. Ils habitaient une élégante villa au milieu d'un parc, au bord de la Seine. Le cocher était ce François, gars de campagne, un peu lourdaud, bon cœur, niais, facile à duper. Comme il rentrait un soir chez ses maîtres, un chien se mit à le suivre. Il n'y prit point garde d'abord ; mais l'obstination de la bête à marcher sur ses talons le fit bientôt se retourner. Il regarda s'il connaissait ce chien. Non, il ne l'avait jamais vu. C'était une chienne d'une maigreur affreuse, avec de grandes mamelles pendantes."

Possessed of a voracious sexual appetite, bitter and frequently disillusioned by the history of his country and the foibles of its people is not a description that does justice to the tortured soul that was Guy de Maupassant. He was also a compassionate and deeply patriotic man, volunteering to fight for his country in the Franco-Prussian War at the age of 20 and again saw action reporting on the French campaign in Tunisia in 1881.

— Tiens, dit Marambot, voilà le rosier de Mme Husson. Je fus très surpris et je demandai : « Le rosier de Mme Husson, qu'est-ce que tu veux dire par là ? » Le médecin se mit à rire. — Oh ! c'est une manière d'appeler les ivrognes que nous avons ici. Cela vient d'une vieille histoire passée maintenant à l'état de légende, bien qu'elle soit vraie en tous points. — Est-elle drôle, ton histoire ?

The diary is that most intimate of journals, of records. Within its pages the writer records and gives expression to their thoughts, their feelings, their emotional state on all the things that make up and surround them in this world. With authors of the calibre of Bulgakov, Woolf, Tolstoy, Twain and many others this volume explores characters whose lives seem dominated by these diaries, and the events that unfold are both compelling and literary journeys into the very personal and intimate side of their characters’ lives.

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), a French author, was one of the most influential short story writers of the 19th century. 'Le Horla' is a truly terrifying story of a man, told through the pages of his diary, who is under the malign influence of some strange, invisible, parasitic being which saps his life energy. De Maupassant's clear, pragmatic language contrasts eerily with the ghastly and macabre narrative and draws the listener into the sheer terror of the situation.

When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect. Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness. And not just our mood. These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes. Sometimes the relief can be palpable. Our authors, from Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield and a wealth of others, are well aware of what their talents will evoke. Genius has many names.

Le pain devint rare dans la maison ; les deux sœurs allaient en journée, mais gagnaient peu.

In questo racconto lungo Guy De Maupassant, alternando serietà e sarcasmo, propone uno spaccato di borghesi francesi che , vuoti di valori e permeati di ipocrisia, vengono a patti con tutto pur di accaparrarsi una eredità milionaria. Amico di Flaubert. Emile Zola, da cui fu profondamente influenzato, Maupassant spesso ritrae nelle sue opere la stupidità, la cupidigia, la crudeltà e soprattutto la meschinità, e il riso è più amaro che dolce. Cornice musicale di Paul Dukas.
