Przypadnie do gustu także czytelnikom ceniącym pisarstwo Emila Zoli. Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) - francuski pisarz, przedstawiciel dekadentyzmu i naturalizmu. Najbardziej znany jako twórca nowel o tematyce społecznej, z elementami ironii i satyry. Warsztatu literackiego uczył go sam Gustaw Flaubert. Doświadczenie okupacji podczas wojny francusko-pruskiej odcisnęło piętno na tematyce utworów Maupassanta, które przedstawiają realistyczny i pesymistyczny obraz życia społecznego w tamtym okresie. Prawdopodobnie chorował na schizofrenię, a kolejne rzuty choroby poskutkowały zaistnieniem w dorobku pisarza utworów utrzymanych w konwencji koszmaru sennego.
