Hi guys! How are you!? Welcome to the Instante Audiobooks channel! Now you can listen to the short story: LETTER FROM A MADMAN - Author: Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant First published: 1885 (Blas magazine) Genre: Naturalism/psychological realism Original language: French Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant or just Guy de Maupassant, was born on August 5, 1850 in Tourville-sur-Arques, Upper Normandy. Son of a wealthy bourgeois family, he studied at Catholic schools, from where he was expelled for writing inappropriate verses. He studied Law, was in the Franco-Prussian War and volunteered in the administrative services of the Navy, as well as in the Ministry of Public Education. He was one of the greatest writers of French literature of his time, forming with Flaubert and Zola the so-called literary triumvirate of the 19th century, and one of the greatest short story writers in world literature. His resume includes novels, short stories, travel books, poetry and plays. Maupassant's literary legacy includes approximately 300 short stories of immeasurable value. Among his most famous short stories is Bola de Sebo, the author's first short story, published in 1880, which quickly gained the enthusiasm of his peers and the public, becoming a huge success. Maupassant died in Paris on July 6, 1893, in a sanatorium at the age of 42 due to a suicide attempt caused by disorders associated with syphilis, which tormented him for more than a decade. He was buried in the Montparnasse cemetery, where he wrote his own epitaph: "I have desired everything and found pleasure in nothing. I have never been able to find anything."
