«Le Horla» is Guy de Maupassant's fantastic tale, with a didactic edition by Françoise Rachmuhl, in a Hatier paperback (192 pages, in French).
The tale takes the form of a diary in which a man records the appearance in his house of an invisible being, the Horla, who drinks the water and milk he leaves on the table. Maupassant thus explores the boundary between madness and the supernatural, and turns the narrator's doubt into the axis of terror.
Edition from the Œuvres & thèmes / classiques Hatier collection, with complete text and a dossier including synthesis questions and texts by Hoffmann, Poe, Saki, Kafka, Jean Ray, Sternberg and Buzzati.
Aimed at school use, especially in the French education system, and also suitable for readers interested in the classic 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.
