    About this audiobook

    Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch.

    But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds. We never really know the reason or motivation but sometimes one final, dreadful way out is the solution.

    In this volume our authors including, Amy Levy, Willa Cather, Honore de Balzac, O Henry, Franz Kafka and a wealth or others explore stories that help us to understand and recognise a tragic circumstance.

    Guy de Maupassant

    <p><b>Guy de Maupassant</b> nació en 1850 en el castillo de Miromesnil, en el seno de una ennoblecida familia normanda y se crio en Étretat, al cuidado de su madre, que se había separado de su marido. En 1869 partió hacia París con la intención de estudiar Derecho pero la guerra franco-prusiana trastocará sus planes: se alistó como voluntario y combatió en Normandía.</p> <p>Acabada la guerra, de la mano de Flaubert, amigo de su madre, conoció en París a la sociedad literaria del momento; en 1880 publicó su cuento <em>Bola de sebo</em> en el volumen colectivo <em>Las veladas de Médan</em>, piedra fundacional del movimiento naturalista. Otros cuentos como los contenidos en <em>La casa Tellier</em> (1881) o <em>Mademoiselle Fifi</em> (1882) lo acreditaron como uno de los maestros del género, de modo que cuando en 1883 salió a la luz su primera novela, <em>Una vida</em> (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XLI), ya era un escritor famoso. A esta novela siguieron otras de la talla de <em>Bel Ami</em> (1885; ALBA CLÁSICA núm. CXIX), <em>Mont-Oriol</em> (1887; ALBA CLÁSICA núm. II), <em>Pierre y Jean</em> (1888), <em>Fuerte como la muerte</em> (1889) y <em>Nuestro corazón</em> (1890; ALBA CLÁSICA núm. LXVI). Murió en París en 1893, víctima de una enfermedad hereditaria que lo llevó a la locura.</p> <p>«Maupassant –escribiría Joseph Conrad–, a quien se ha llamado maestro del mot juste, nunca ha sido un mero tratante de palabras. Sus mercancías no han sido cuentas de vidrio sino pulidas gemas: quizá no las más raras y preciosas, pero sí con las mejores aguas de su género.»</p>
