It is a common quality amongst us that we all have imagination and dreams. These are positives with which to embrace life and move forward. Unfortunately, our classic literary scribes including Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Arthur Conan Doyle, Virginia Woolf and a host of others also bring forth narratives which not only include a darker, more venal side but those of a lighter flavour.

Guy de Maupassant

Guy de Maupassant was a French writer and poet considered to be one of the pioneers of the modern short story whose best-known works include "Boule de Suif," "Mother Sauvage," and "The Necklace." De Maupassant was heavily influenced by his mother, a divorcée who raised her sons on her own, and whose own love of the written word inspired his passion for writing. While studying poetry in Rouen, de Maupassant made the acquaintance of Gustave Flaubert, who became a supporter and life-long influence for the author. De Maupassant died in 1893 after being committed to an asylum in Paris.
