Résumé

Sir John Rowell's death is shrouded in mystery, and the judge who narrates his story essentially turns it into a scary campfire story. Elements of hunting, sea voyaging, and savagery make this story enticing for fans of R.M Ballantyne. "The Hand" is another example of Maupassant’s experiments with the supernatural and once again it proves fruitful and successful.Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a French writer. Famed for being a master of the short story, he also wrote travel books and occasionally dabbled in poetry. His stories mainly focus on the relationships between men and women sitting at crossroads in their lives - whether personal or professional. His dramatic flair is largely influenced by French novelist Gustave Flaubert and is perfect for fans of Anton Chekhov's short stories. The most notable of the 300 short stories that he wrote include 'Bel Ami', 'Une Vie', and 'The Dumpling'.

Auteur

Guy de Maupassant (auteur)

Écrivain fécond, disciple de Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant est l'auteur de contes, de nouvelles et de romans. Observateur privilégié de la paysannerie normande, de ses malices et de sa dureté, l’écrivain élargit son domaine à la société moderne tout entière, vue à travers la vie médiocre de la petite bourgeoisie des villes, mais aussi le vice qui triomphe dans les classes élevées. Le déclin de sa santé mentale, avant même l’âge de trente ans, le porte à s’intéresser aux thèmes de l'angoisse et de la folie.
