Summary: "Le Horla" by Guy de Maupassant is a short story written during the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the disquieting experiences of an unnamed protagonist who grapples with feelings of illness and an overwhelming sense of dread, suggesting the presence of an unseen entity that influences his life. At the start of the story, the narrator describes his love for his home and the serene landscape surrounding it, but he soon becomes plagued by inexplicable sensations. As he battles a growing unease, he experiences increasing symptoms of illness—fever, restlessness, and insomnia—that heighten his fears. He senses an invisible presence in his house, leading him to question his sanity and reality itself. Throughout the opening, a mix of introspection and existential dread unfolds as the protagonist struggles to discern the boundaries between his inner turmoil and the external threats he perceives.
