    About this audiobook

    It is a common quality amongst us that we all have imagination and dreams. These are positives with which to embrace life and move forward. Unfortunately, our classic literary scribes including Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Arthur Conan Doyle, Virginia Woolf and a host of others also bring forth narratives which not only include a darker, more venal side but those of a lighter flavour.

    Author

    Guy de Maupassant

    Guy de Maupassant was a nineteenth-century French author, remembered as a master of the short story form, who depicted human lives, destinies, and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms. He was a protégé of Gustave Flaubert, and his stories are characterized by economy of style and efficient, seemingly effortless dénouements. Born in 1850 at the late–sixteenth century Château de Miromesnil, de Maupassant was the first son of Laure Le Poittevin and Gustave de Maupassant, who both came from prosperous bourgeois families. Until the age of thirteen, de Maupassant lived with his mother at Étretat in Normandy. The Franco-Prussian War broke out soon after his graduation from college in 1870, and he enlisted as a volunteer. In his later years he developed a constant desire for solitude, an obsession for self-preservation, and a fear of death and paranoia of persecution. In 1892, de Maupassant attempted suicide. He was committed to the private asylum of Esprit Blanche at Passy, in Paris, where he died in 1893.
