É um dos últimos contos fantásticos que Maupassant escreveu. O Horla vem na forma de um diário inacabado que levanta temores de que seu dono tenha mergulhado na loucura. O Horla marca o início da loucura de seu autor, Guy de Maupassant, que morreu 3 anos depois, em paranóia e loucura total. An interesting short story, presented as a novella length book by including three different versions. Each version has a different approach to the narrative: first person narration, as a "Letter from a Madman", and in a frame story in which an alienist (psychiatrist) introduces a patient, who then tells the story. All versions include the basic ideas: our perceptions are limited, so how can we judge the reality of what lies beyond them? Is possession by an invisible being very different from the effects of hypnotic suggestion? The rationality of the madman, a well-informed, French country gentleman in the late 19th century, is what makes this story of unexplained events entertaining. The first, and final, version would've been enough for me, but add a star if you're interested in the alternative narrative techniques. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"This chilling tale of one man's descent into madness was published shortly before the author was institutionalized for insanity, and so, The Horla has inevitably been seen as informed by Guy de Maupassant's mental illness. While such speculation is murky, it is clear that de Maupassant hailed alongside Chekhov as father of the short story was at the peak of his powers in this innovative precursor of first-person psychological fiction. Indeed, he worked for years on The Horla's themes and form, first drafting it as Letter from a Madman, then telling it from a doctor's point of view, before finally releasing the terrified protagonist to speak for himself in its devastating final version. In a brilliant new translation, all three versions appear here as a single volume for the first time." Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
