Guy de Maupassant
1850 CE–1893 CE · Writer · Château de Miromesnil, Tourville-sur-Arques
Guy de Maupassant was a French writer regarded as a master of the short story and a leading naturalist. Mentored by Gustave Flaubert and associated with Émile Zola's circle, he published his breakthrough tale "Boule de Suif" in 1880, then produced roughly 300 stories, six novels including "Bel-Ami" and "Pierre et Jean," travel writings, and poetry across a prolific decade. His work is noted for economical prose, ironic observation of Norman peasants, clerks, and bourgeois society, and, later, unsettling psychological themes as in "Le Horla." Afflicted by illness in his final years, he was placed in a Paris clinic, where he died in 1893.
