«Le Horla et six contes fantastiques» is the collection of seven fantastic tales by Guy de Maupassant, published by Hachette Education in paperback (158 pages, in French).
The volume brings together seven short stories in which the supernatural intrudes on everyday life: an invisible being torments a man until he doubts his sanity, a severed hand comes to life to take revenge, and a dead young woman reappears in a castle guarded by a strange gardener. Maupassant's style maintains the tension between rational explanation and the inexplicable.
Part of the Bibliocollège collection, French edition with complete text. The story «Le Horla» was originally published in 1886.
Recommended for secondary school students studying fantastic literature in French and for readers who want to approach the classics of nineteenth-century horror fiction.
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.
