A lesson on the power of vanity, "The Necklace" tells the story of Madame Mathilde Loisel and her husband. Mathilde always imagined herself as a socialite with beautiful gowns and wonderful jewels. Her husband, however, is a lowly clerk and the two have little money. Desperate to attend an important party, she borrows a friend's diamond necklace to match the dress her husband bought for her. But when Mathilde loses the expensive jewels, she nearly destroys her life in an effort to pay back the debt.

"The Horla" (French title "Le Horla") is among the most famous short stories by the French writer Guy de Maupassant. This version, published in 1887, is an expanded version of that previously published in the Paris literary periodical, Le Gil Blas, on October 26, 1886. Written as a series of private journal entries, it recounts the narrator's terrifying experience of "a strange, unknowable, and invisible being." - Summary by Louise J. Belle

Le Horla raconte la lente désagrégation d'un esprit, de la dépression à la folie. Le héros se sent peu à peu envahi par un autre, qui agit à travers lui : le Horla, puissance invisible, inconsciente, qui le manipule. S'installent alors l'incompréhension, la peur, l'angoisse. Prenant la forme du journal intime, la nouvelle illustre ce que Freud nommera l'inquiétante étrangeté, cette intrusion progressive du malaise dans le quotidien.

Story0
Maupassants Geschichten sind Momentaufnahmen des 19. Jahrhunderts – angesiedelt zwischen Paris und der Normandie, zwischen Salon und Schenke, zwischen Krieg, Liebe, Geld und Einsamkeit. In frühen realistischen Erzählungen wie Fettklößchen oder Vater Milon verarbeitet er seine Erfahrungen aus dem Deutsch-Französischen Krieg und entlarvt Patriotismus, Moral und gesellschaftliche Heuchelei mit bitterer Ironie. In späteren Erzählungen wie Der Horla verdichtet sich Maupassants zunehmende psychische Zerrissenheit zu unheimlichen, fast visionären Texten.
