Description
Excerpt from Une Vie, Saint Anthony, Minuet, and Other Stories
I will simply recall that he was born on the sth of August, 1850, near Dieppe, in the castle of Miro mesnil which he describes in Une Vie.
Maupassant, like Flaubert, was a Norman, through his mother, and through his place of birth he be longed to that strange and adventurous race, whose heroic and long voyages on tramp trading ships he liked to recall. And just as the author Of Educa tion sentimentale seems to have inherited in the paternal line the shrewd realism of Champagne, so de Maupassant appears to have inherited from his Lorraine ancestors their indestructible discipline and cold lucidity.
