Sur l'eau
Un vieux canotier donne le récit de l'une de ses aventures les plus effrayantes qui lui fut donné de vivre sur l'eau : Un soir, tandis que l'ancre immobilisée dans le fond le condamnait à demeurer entre deux rives, il devint le témoin de toutes les fantasmagories les plus sombres, les plus lugubres que la rivière puisse donner.

Guy de Maupassant
Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant (UK: , US: ; French: ; 5 August 1850 – 6 July 1893) was a 19th-century French author, celebrated as a master of the short story and associated with the naturalist literary school of thought, depicting human lives, destinies, and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms.
Maupassant was a protégé of Gustave Flaubert and his stories are characterized by economy of style and efficient, seemingly effortless dénouements. Many are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s, describing the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught up in events beyond their control, are permanently changed by their experiences. He wrote 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one volume of verse. His first published story, "Boule de Suif" ("The Dumpling", 1880), is often considered his most famous work.
