Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) was a French writer who made significant contributions to the development of the short story genre during the latter half of the 19th century. Born on August 5, 1850, in Tourville-sur-Arques, France, Maupassant was influenced by the literary circle of Gustave Flaubert, who became his mentor. He began his literary career in 1880 with the publication of his famous short story, "Boule de Suif." Over the next decade, Maupassant produced a prolific body of work, including over 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and a volume of poetry. His stories, such as "The Horla" (1887) and "Qui Sait?" ("Who Knows?") (1890), often explored themes of madness, the supernatural, and the darker aspects of human nature. However, Maupassant's life was cut short by the effects of syphilis, which he had contracted in his youth. After a suicide attempt in 1892, he was committed to a mental asylum in Paris, where he died on July 6, 1893, at the age of 42.
