Podcasts about Guy de Maupassant

Hay relatos de terror que necesitan fantasmas, casas abandonadas, cementerios y apariciones para provocar inquietud, y hay otros que encuentran el horror en algo mucho más próximo y reconocible: la incapacidad humana para aceptar una pérdida. «La muerta» (La Morte), de Guy de Maupassant, pertenece a esta segunda categoría. Publicado en 1887, el relato es una de esas pequeñas piezas de la literatura fantástica en las que el verdadero espanto no procede tanto de aquello que aparece ante los ojos del protagonista como de aquello que ocurre dentro de su propia mente. Maupassant es conocido principalmente por sus cuentos realistas, por su extraordinaria capacidad para retratar la sociedad francesa de su tiempo y por unos personajes dominados con frecuencia por las pasiones, las frustraciones, la ambición, el deseo o la crueldad. Sin embargo, en la última etapa de su producción literaria desarrolló también una importante vertiente fantástica y de terror psicológico. En relatos como «El Horla», «¿Quién sabe?» o «La muerta», la realidad cotidiana comienza a resquebrajarse y deja entrever la posibilidad de que detrás de aquello que consideramos racional exista algo que no podemos controlar.

Nous sommes le 3 juillet 1883. Dans l'édition du Gil Blas, quotidien français auquel participent des plumes notoires, Guy de Maupassant écrit à Pierre Decourcelle, homme de lettres comme lui : « Mon cher ami, tu n'y comprends rien. Et je le conçois. Tu me crois devenu fou ? Je le suis peut-être un peu, mais non pas pour les raisons que tu supposes. Oui. Je me marie. Voilà. Et pourtant mes idées et mes convictions n'ont pas changé. Je considère l'accouplement légal comme une bêtise. Je suis certain que huit maris sur dix sont cocus. Et ils ne méritent pas moins pour avoir eu l'imbécillité d'enchaîner leur vie, de renoncer à l'amour libre, la seule chose gaie et bonne au monde, de couper l'aile à la fantaisie qui nous pousse sans cesse à toutes les femmes, etc., etc. Plus que jamais je me sens incapable d'aimer une femme parce que j'aimerai toujours trop toutes les autres. Je voudrais avoir mille bras, mille lèvres et mille... tempéraments pour pouvoir étreindre en même temps une armée de ces êtres charmants et sans importance. Et cependant je me marie. J'ajoute que je ne connais guère ma femme de demain. Je l'ai vue seulement quatre ou cinq fois. Je sais qu'elle ne me déplaît point ; cela me suffit pour ce que j'en veux faire. Elle est petite, blonde et grasse. Après-demain, je désirerai ardemment une femme grande, brune et mince (... ) Alors pourquoi me marier, diras-tu ? J'ose à peine t'avouer l'étrange et invraisemblable raison qui me pousse à cet acte insensé. Je me marie pour n'être pas seul (…) Caroline Esgain , conservatrice du Musée Mode et Dentelle de la ville de Bruxelles sujets traités ;mariage, bourgeois, Guy de Maupassant, Pierre Decourcelle, Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

In this week's Short Story Summer Remix from Season 1, Angelina Stanford and Cindy Rollins discuss Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace." Before getting into the short story discussion, Cindy and Angelina chat about what a "commonplace book" is and how they each go about recording quotes and thoughts. First off, Angelina gives us a little background on the author Guy de Maupassant and some information on French naturalism. Then she digs into her thoughts on how this story is a fairy tale in reverse and what that might mean in context. Cindy points out the perfection of de Maupassant's writing and his economy of style. They also bring up some of the formal elements of the story, particularly the key role the reversal takes in the plot. The main themes they find in "The Necklace" touch on common human struggles with ambition, discontentment, loss, suffering and gratitude.

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) is widely regarded as one of the greatest short story writers in history. Among his admirers were Flaubert, who befriended and mentored the younger writer, and later masters of the form like Joyce and Chekhov, who were both deeply influenced by Maupassant's precision, economy, and subject matter. In this episode, Jacke reads one of Maupassant's most famous stories, "The Necklace," about a young middle-class couple whose social climbing efforts result in disillusionment and disaster. Then Jacke is joined by Mike Palindrome, the President of the Literature Supporters Club, for a discussion of what makes this late nineteenth-century story so powerful. On Sale Now!

We did get out and about for a Biblio Adventure to the New York Society Library to see a reading of Lord Byron's Manfred by The New Relic Theatre. While there we also watched a virtual event via the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism featuring Ruth Franklin in conversation about her new book The Many Lives of Anne Frank. And we had two couch biblio adventures. Emily watched the film The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse based on the book by Charlie Mackesy, and Chris participated in the Women's Prize Book Club with Sarah Waters in conversation with Simon Savidge about her novel Fingersmith. Of course, we also talk about what we're currently reading, hope to read, upcoming jaunts, Simon & Schuster's news about book blurbs, and more. There's a whole lot of yuck in the world now, and we are grateful for good books and bookish friends. Thank you, friends, for listening and connecting with us on social media, email, or Zoom.
