Sinopse

Guy de Maupassant's 'The Horla' is a masterpiece of horror literature, showcasing the author's ability to create a chilling atmosphere through vivid descriptions and psychological depth. Set in a time when science and superstition were at odds, the novella follows the narrator's descent into madness as he becomes convinced that an invisible entity, the Horla, is haunting him. Maupassant's use of unreliable narration adds to the suspense, leaving readers questioning the protagonist's sanity and the true nature of the supernatural force. Written in a concise and haunting style, 'The Horla' is a must-read for fans of Gothic fiction and psychological horror. This Classic English Edition offers a faithful translation of Maupassant's original work, allowing readers to experience the terror and ambiguity of the story in all its glory. Guy de Maupassant, a master of the short story form, was known for his acute psychological insight and his ability to evoke complex emotions in his readers. His own struggles with mental illness and fear of the unknown likely influenced his creation of 'The Horla,' adding a personal dimension to the narrative. Readers who enjoy thought-provoking horror tales that delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche will find 'The Horla' to be a captivating and unsettling read, offering a unique blend of supernatural elements and psychological depth.
