In "Yvette," Guy de Maupassant crafts a poignant narrative that explores the complexities of desire, social class, and the fleeting nature of love. Set against the backdrop of rural Normandy, the story unfolds through the eyes of a young girl, Yvette, who finds herself entangled in a web of relationships that oscillate between passion and societal expectation.

"El Horla es como un río que sólo corre de noche, porque el hombre siempre ha identificado a la muerte y a sus miedos con la noche, es la noche la que trae, con sus sombras y el sueño, su densa zozobra, su imprecisa pero palpable amenaza. Tambien trae su intolerable inquietud de otra belleza, de otros mundos, de otra percepcion mas afinada que la nuestra." Griselda Gambaro

Pierre e Jean e il quarto romanzo dello scrittore francese Guy de Maupassant, scritto in soli tre mesi a La Guillette, la casa dellautore in Normandia, apparve su La Nouvelle Revue in tre puntate.Pierre e Jean Roland sono due fratelli da sempre agli antipodi; irrequieto e discontinuo il primo, ragionevole e fondamentalmente buono il secondo. Pierre ha cinque anni piu di Jean, ed entrambi hanno appena finito gli studi universitari, abilitandosi rispettivamente alla professione di medico e avvocato. Sono rientrati a Le Havre, dove il padre Gerome, appassionato di pesca, e la madre Louise, donna riflessiva e calma - sempre pronta a sedare le incipienti gelosie tra i figli -, si godono la pensione dopo una vita trascorsa a Parigi per lavoro.Un giorno giunge la notizia che un vecchio amico di famiglia, Leon Marechal, e morto, lasciando a Jean tutto il suo denaro. Questa inaspettata e compromettente eredita infatti premia Jean e lascia a secco Pierre, marcando in via definitiva i rapporti tra i due. La nebbia, altra protagonista del romanzo, scende sulla famiglia non appena il ragazzo entra in possesso dei ventimila franchi e nessuno si vedra mai piu come prima. È il trionfo dellintorpidimento delle coscienze, insieme corazza di salute e bestialita della sopravvivenza, desiderio di non voler turbare la continuita instupidita della piccola e media borghesia che tutto ricopre sotto il tappeto del benessere e dellarricchimento, ha scritto Italo Calvino di questo romanzo.
