He then republished them in 1958 (édition Gallimard), including a long preface (also translated into Maltese), meant to justify their republication inspite of being conscious of what he considered to be stylistic imperfections in his writing due to his ‘immaturity’ as a budding author. But he does not renege a single word of their contents.

These gems in the history of French fin de siècle theatre concern man’s conflict with preternatural forces against which he is powerless, foreshadowing the subject-matter, if not the style, of the Theatre of the absurd. This is a disquieting theatre reflecting the playwright’s theory of drama, as developed in \"Le Tragique quotidien\" \/ \"It-Traġiku fil-Ħajja ta’ Kuljum\" \/ \"The Tragical in Daily Life\", published in his book of philosophical essays, \u003cem\u003eLe Trésor des humbles\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eIt-Teżor tal-Umli\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eThe Treasure of the Humble\u003c\/em\u003e (1896). The mystery which Maeterlinck found everywhere around us and within us, he managed to embody it in these plays. To quote from the citation accompanying the award of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911, the distinctive quality of Maeterlinck’s symbolist drama was 'their richness of imagination and poetic realism'. It displays a deep intimacy of feeling and also appeals to the readers’ sentiments and sense of foreboding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanying the translations one finds a short study by Professor Aquilina on Maeterlinck’s place within the framework of French Symbolist drama.

No translator who wants to do justice to de Maupassant can leave out at least one story dealing with the macabre, the narrative in which the author excelled. Aquilinas choice fell on \"Id il-Maqruħ\", inspired by a present given to him by Algernon Charles Swinborne as a memento when they became acquainted in Eretat (Normandy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne third of the stories written by de Maupassant are set in Normandy as the author remained loyal to his birthplace until the end of his life. Although in \"Il-Papà ta Simon\" and \"Magħmudija\" direct references to the region are absent, it is beyond doubt that there is where these stories are set. Direct references to Normandy are found in \"Ix-Xwejjaħ Pa Milon\" and in \"Id il-Maqruħ\". In the former the main theme is the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, whereas in the latter it is the macabre and Normandy alternates with Paris in the plot. In \"Minwett\" and \"Ġifa\", the action develops in Luxembourg garden. In \"Vjaġġ Sanitarju\", we come across a married couple who leave the capital city for the Mediterranean to avoid illnesses, but who return soon afterward because of a comical misunderstanding. Likewise comical is the story \"Il-Karezzi\" where reference to the church of La Madeleine leaves the reader in no doubt as to where the protagonists live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe translator also chose \"Il-Karezzi\" because here de Maupassant speaks about women and we all know that he had affairs with many women. But at the same time, he did not hold them in high esteem. He saw them as inferior creatures able to enslave men with their beauty, and if need be with their weaknesses as well. Therefore, one would not be surprised that he sought women exclusively for sexual encounters. Finally, Aquilina did not want to leave out the exotic element in de Maupassant's work, with which many authors of his time loved to pepper their writings. The harsh customs in an equally harsh environment that one came across in Corsica amounted to a strange experience outside the normal routine of everyday life for people in France. \"Vendetta\", which came out in the second volume of Maupassant's short stories already translated into Maltese, is followed here by \"Brigant Korsikan\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guy de Maupassant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58735761195382,"sku":"3","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/3511\/2822\/files\/2024__12__sbuhija_mohlija.jpg?v=1790584060"}],"url":"https:\/\/faraxapublishing.com\/collections\/classic.oembed","provider":"faraxapublishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
