Guy de Maupassant est né en Normandie en 1850. Il bénéficie des conseils littéraires de Flaubert, rencontre Zola, Huysmans, Daudet et les frères Goncourt. Son œuvre, d'une incroyable fécondité (nouvelles, romans, articles dans les journaux), lui assure célébrité et fortune. Atteint de syphilis, il meurt à quarante-trois ans dans la démence.
Of the French writers of romance of the latter part of the nineteenth century no one made a reputation as quickly as did Guy de Maupassant. Not one has preserved that reputation with more ease, not only during life, but in death. None so completely hides his personality in his glory.
Of Guy de Maupassant we know that he was born in Normandy about 1850; that he was the favorite pupil, if one may so express it, the literary protege, of Gustave Flaubert; that he made his debut late in 1880, with a novel inserted in a small collection, published by Emile Zola and his young friends, under the title: "The Soirees of Medan"; that subsequently he did not fail to publish stories and romances every year up to 1891, when a disease of the brain struck him down in the fullness of production; and that he died, finally, in 1893, without having recovered his reason.
