"Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 18" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of literary works likely compiled in the late 19th century. It includes several notable pieces such as "Le Horla," which explores themes of madness and the supernatural. This work delves into the psychological struggles of the main character as he confronts an elusive and possibly malevolent entity that threatens his sanity and existence, making it a fascinating read for those interested in psychological horror and existential questions. At the start of the collection, the narrative is framed through a first-person perspective, where the protagonist describes his deep attachment to his homeland and the serene countryside by the Seine River. However, as the story unfolds, he begins to suffer from a mysterious malady, including bouts of fever and intense anxiety, compounded by harrowing dreams of a sinister presence that beckons to him at night. The protagonist's mental state deteriorates as he becomes convinced of an invisible being, the "Horla," that seems to drain his vitality and haunt him. This gradual descent into madness, interspersed with reflections on existence and the nature of reality, sets a compelling tone for the eerie tale that develops throughout this volume.
