EL HORLA Y OTROS CUENTOS FANTÁSTICOS agrupa dieciocho relatos de GUY DE MAUPASSANT (1850-1893) cuyos ingredientes son el misterio, la locura, los crímenes de oscuro origen, el suicidio, el miedo y la soledad. En ellos, el elemento fantástico no constituye una brutal intrusión en la normalidad, sino que se acompasa, de forma mucho más insidiosa, con la vida cotidiana, es lo incognoscible que ronda en torno al hombre, pero también el reflejo de ...

Nadie mejor situado que Guy de Maupassant para convertir en relatos las costumbres de la sociedad francesa, su moralidad o inmoralidad: desde su juventud se dedicó con pasión al flirteo con una voracidad de ave de presa, pero con los años le fue devuelta la moneda: su fama de atleta sexual y de escritor de éxito lo convirtieron en presa de varias mujeres de la Belle Époque, de su larga experiencia amatoria salieron estos relatos que cuentan su...

En estos cuentos no hay nada sobrenatural, pues lo que sus personajes sienten es fruto de su imaginación enloquecida que hace por ejemplo caminar a muebles por sí solos.

De origen humilde e instrucción mediocre, Georges Duroy (Bel Ami) marcha a la capital de Francia para probar fortuna después de pasar unos años en África como suboficial. Fanfarrón, intrigante, oportunista sin escrúpulos, de una belleza irresistible para las mujeres e insensible al dolor que provoca en los demás, logrará abrirse camino dentro del mundo del periodismo en el París bullicioso, cosmopolita y brillante de fines del xix.

George Duroy, genannt Bel-ami, ist ein Mann mit großen Ambitionen und bescheidenen Fähigkeiten. Dennoch schafft er es quasi über Nacht die Karriereleiter als Journalist zu erklimmen und in die vornehme Pariser Gesellschaft aufzusteigen. Er sieht blendend aus, hat eine überwältigende Ausstrahlung und unwiderstehlichen Charme - und ein untrügliches Gespür dafür, was ihn nach vorne bringt und zum Liebling aller macht.

Die Neuübersetzung von Maupassants satirisch-bissigem Erfolgsroman Mit souveräner Ironie schildert Maupassant den Werdegang des charmanten Emporkömmlings George Duroy, der als Don Juan des bürgerlichen Zeitalters in die Weltliteratur einging. Der berühmte Klassiker wird hier in der neuesten Übersetzung vorgelegt. • Die Neuverfilmung des großen Klassikers mit ›Twilight‹-Star Robert Pattinson kommt im Mai 2012 in die deutschen Kinos.
