"My adored one, I love you wildly. Since yesterday I have been suffering the tortures of the damned, haunted by our memory. I feel your lips against mine, your eyes in mine, your breast against mine. I love you, I love you! You have driven me mad. My arms open, I gasp, moved by a wild desire to hold you again. My whole soul and body cries out for you, wants you. I have kept in my mouth the taste of your kisses--"



"The man who adores you," the name "Henry." Their father's name was Rene.
My predictions turned to be true. It's usually so that all the women's secrets are linked to men...

I'm not going to list facts and bore you with all the dramatic circumstances of Maupassant's life, you can google it yourself, if you're interested (http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/maupassa.htm) ;)

Instead, I would like to quote Friedrich Nietzsche, who wrote in his autobiography:

"I cannot at all conceive in which century of history one could haul together such inquisitive and at the same time delicate psychologists as one can in contemporary Paris: I can name as a sample – for their number is by no means small, ... or to pick out one of the stronger race, a genuine Latin to whom I am particularly attached, Guy de Maupassant."


But before revealing the secret, let's talk about a 'Creator' or just a writer (as we usually call them). The first time I got aquainted with Maupassant was last summer when I spent my sleepless nights with his "Dear Friend" :) I guess the impression produced by this book greatly influenced my today's choice in favour of Maupassant. Highly sophisticated, subtle, ironic, contradictory, challenging and can't-find-more-words-to-describe, he can't be omitted.

Finally, I've decided on "A Dead Woman's Secret" by Guy de Maupassant. The title is higly intriguing. Can't wait to reveal the secret!
