Short biography
Information from the Dutch Common Knowledge. Edit to localize it to the English one.
Guy de Maupassant is een schrijver van het naturalisme. Guy de Maupassant had een overwegend pessimistische kijk op de wereld. Voor hem was het leven "een avontuur zonder doel", en was de mens "een beest nauwelijks beschaafder dan de andere". In zijn verhalen beschrijft hij een zwakke maatschappij met egoïstisch, oneerlijke, wrede en belachelijke mensen (gierige koopmannen, hypocriete en ijdele edelen...) Er is geen enkele menselijke ondeugd waarover hij niet geschreven heeft. Oorlogsgruwel is het belangrijkste motief in zijn oeuvre. Op het einde van zijn leven was angst een motief dat steeds frequenter in zijn werk voorkwam.
