Alguns temas presentes nos contos reunidos neste volume são clássicos na literatura fantástica. Não se trata de criaturas impossíveis em cenários exóticos, mas acontecimentos estranhos que se equilibram nesta tensão que se origina de um espírito incerto.

Guy de Maupassant
Author · 165 books
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was a popular 19th-century French writer. He is one of the fathers of the modern short story. A protege of Flaubert, Maupassant's short stories are characterized by their economy of style and their efficient effortless dénouement. He also wrote six short novels. A number of his stories often denote the futility of war and the innocent civilians who get crushed in it - many are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s.
