«Le Horla» is a volume of fantastic tales by Guy de Maupassant, published by Larousse in paperback (143 pages, in French).
A character-narrator on the brink of alienation feels the intrusion of a strange being, both extraterrestrial and vampiric, that seems to watch him and duplicate his identity. Maupassant builds a game of mirrors in which the fear of the supernatural blends with the anguish of losing one's mind.
Published in 1999, it corresponds to number 34 of Larousse's Petits Classiques series and includes the complete text in French.
For students of French and for those seeking a classic of the nineteenth-century fantastic tale.
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a 19th-century French author, celebrated as a master of the short story and associated with the naturalist literary school of thought, depicting human lives, destinies, and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms.
