Guy De Maupassant
Translation - Epimeter: Vasiliki Tsiganou
The north wind was blowing furiously, dragging from the sky huge winter clouds, black and dense, that were pouring heavy rains on the ground. The wild like wild sea roared and beat hard on the shore, throwing huge waves, which with slow motion foamed and exploded like bursts of machine gun. They rhythmically resumed one after the other, high like the mountains, scattering in the air, under the steep cliffs, the white foam of their peaks like an angry outburst of monsters…
The "Stories of Day and Night" by Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893), the leading exponent of French naturalism, takes us to the steep shores of Normandy, to the sweet light of the French South, but also to the wild and harsh Corsica: Love , tenderness, desires, but also murder of parents, drunks, cowardly bourgeois, cunning villagers, images from a world full of contrasts, where the author captures the flow of life, day and night, in a continuum, without end.
