About this ebook:
Les récits fantastiques de Maupassant comptent parmi les plus frappants de la littérature française. Sans exagérations, sans appels faciles au frisson, ils présentent un fantastique intérieur, venu de notre cœur : angoisses, noirceurs, terreurs. Aussi ne peut-on séparer ce fantastique de la cruauté de beaucoup de récits dans lesquels Maupassant exprime l’« écœurement abominable » ressenti par lui dans un monde qu’il estime mauvais et absurde.Les Contes cruels et fantastiques réunissent 57 récits, parmi lesquels : « Magnétisme », « La mère aux monstres », « Garçon, un bock ! », « Châli », « La chevelure », « La tombe », « Un fou ? », « La petite Roque », « Monsieur Parent », les deux versions du « Horla », « La morte », « L’homme de Mars », « Le noyé », « Les tombales ».Textes choisis, présentés et annotés parMarie-Claire Bancquart.
