«Le Horla» is the fantastic tale by Guy de Maupassant, published by Folio in paperback (144 pages, in French).
The story, written as a diary, follows a man who comes to believe that an invisible presence called Horla has taken possession of his house and his mind. Maupassant turns that threat into a descent into psychological terror where reality and hallucination become indistinguishable.
The edition, in the Folio Plus Classique collection, brings together the three versions of the text and includes a dossier by Christine Bénévent and an image reading by Valérie Lagier; published in 2003.
It is suitable for students of French literature and for readers interested in the fantastic tale and psychological horror of the nineteenth century.
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.
