Contes de jour et de nuit

These 21 tales encapsulate all the elements of Guy de Maupassant's art. They primarily depict the small and great miseries of the humble, whether in the city or the countryside, narrated in a minor key, subtly colored by a smile, sometimes a mocking laugh, often a ferocious sneer. These are also, and above all, stories that keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Death is present, sometimes invisible, but lurking, and it suddenly appears around the corner of a page. These tales, emerging from the depths of a soul where the great wandering has begun, are the Contes de jour et de la nuit—stories in black and white, where blinding flashes streak through the depths of the night.

"Contes de jour et de nuit" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
