About this audiobook
Guy De Maupassant
<p><b>Guy de Maupassant</b> nació en 1850 en el castillo de Miromesnil, en el seno de una ennoblecida familia normanda y se crio en Étretat, al cuidado de su madre, que se había separado de su marido. En 1869 partió hacia París con la intención de estudiar Derecho pero la guerra franco-prusiana trastocará sus planes: se alistó como voluntario y combatió en Normandía.</p> <p>Acabada la guerra, de la mano de Flaubert, amigo de su madre, conoció en París a la sociedad literaria del momento; en 1880 publicó su cuento <em>Bola de sebo</em> en el volumen colectivo <em>Las veladas de Médan</em>, piedra fundacional del movimiento naturalista. Otros cuentos como los contenidos en <em>La casa Tellier</em> (1881) o <em>Mademoiselle Fifi</em> (1882) lo acreditaron como uno de los maestros del género, de modo que cuando en 1883 salió a la luz su primera novela, <em>Una vida</em> (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XLI), ya era un escritor famoso. A esta novela siguieron otras de la talla de <em>Bel Ami</em> (1885; ALBA CLÁSICA núm. CXIX), <em>Mont-Oriol</em> (1887; ALBA CLÁSICA núm. II), <em>Pierre y Jean</em> (1888), <em>Fuerte como la muerte</em> (1889) y <em>Nuestro corazón</em> (1890; ALBA CLÁSICA núm. LXVI). Murió en París en 1893, víctima de una enfermedad hereditaria que lo llevó a la locura.</p> <p>«Maupassant –escribiría Joseph Conrad–, a quien se ha llamado maestro del mot juste, nunca ha sido un mero tratante de palabras. Sus mercancías no han sido cuentas de vidrio sino pulidas gemas: quizá no las más raras y preciosas, pero sí con las mejores aguas de su género.»</p>
