A protégé of Gustave Flaubert, his style is characterized by its realism and a profound pessimistic view of society. However, he was also a master of fantastic and horror stories. Works like \"The Horla\" reflect his own obsessions and his struggle against the mental disorders that tormented him in the last years of his life, due to the syphilis he suffered from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy de Maupassant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libros del Zorro Rojo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition:\u003c\/b\u003e 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788494884832\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Libros del Zorro Rojo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54670860747078,"sku":"Est6\/Bal2","price":17.96,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5590\/3302\/files\/ElhorlaA.webp?v=1750781385","url":"https:\/\/libreriacasadrojan.com\/en\/products\/el-horla-y-otros-cuentos-de-locura-y-horror-ilustrado","provider":"Librería Casa Drojan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
