«Le Horla» is Guy de Maupassant's collection of short stories, published by Gallimard Education in paperback (276 pages, in French).
The volume brings together the title story and other short narratives. In «Le Horla», a man feels the presence of an invisible being that spies on him, dominates him, and drives him to the brink of madness. Maupassant treats madness with an almost clinical eye, far from romantic delirium, and the stories explore paranoia, alienation, and the fragility of the mind.
Edition edited by André Fermigier, number 3242 in the Folio Classique collection, published in 1999.
For students of French literature and readers of nineteenth-century classics of the fantastic and horror short story.
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.
