A protégé of Flaubert, he was celebrated for his naturalistic fiction, and wrote over 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books and one volume of verse in his short but highly productive lifetime. He died in an asylum aged just 43.</p><p>This collection brings together dramatisations of some of his finest works. Adapted by Sony Award-winning dramatist Frances Byrnes, <em><strong>Bel Ami</strong></em> chronicles the corrupt rise of charming, ruthless journalist Georges Duroy (<strong>Jonathan Slinger</strong>). It is followed by Maupassants most famous short story, <strong>The Dumpling</strong>, a satirical tale of a group of coach travellers fleeing occupied Rouen during the Franco-Prussian war. Dramatised for the first time on radio, it stars <strong>Miriam Margolyes.</strong></p><p>Set in Le Havre, <em><strong>Pierre et Jean</strong></em> centres around the jealousy that springs up between two brothers when a family secret is uncovered. <strong>Benedict Sandiford</strong> stars as Pierre, with <strong>Tim Treloar</strong> as Jean. Maupassants tragicomic debut novel, <em><strong>Une Vie</strong></em>, starring <strong>Aimee Ffion Edwards</strong>, tells the story of Jeanne, a naive convent-educated aristocrat who dreams of romance, but finds marriage and adulthood treacherous and rotten. The haunting wintry tale <strong>The Inn</strong> is next, in which young mountain guide Ulrich (<strong>Robin Laing</strong>) finds himself in sole charge of a remote Alpine hotel.</p><p>A hidden past is also at the heart of <strong>Mademoiselle Pearl</strong>, a poignant love story starring <strong>Claire Neilson</strong> and <strong>Frank Middlemass</strong>. Alongside it is <strong>The Hand</strong>, the macabre supernatural tale of an English aristocrat, his gruesome trophy and his vengeful nemesis. <strong>Denis Quilley</strong> stars as Sir John Rowell.</p><p>Also featured are two bonus dramas and a documentary about the great author. <em><strong>Confessions of a Hedonist</strong></em> is a phantasmagorical journey through five of Maupassants most personal stories: A Strange Night Out, Mouche, Laid To Rest, Cockcrow and Le Horla. Adapted and translated by Simon Scardifield, it stars <strong>Elliot Cowan</strong> and <strong>Holli Dempsey</strong>. <em><strong>How an Umbrella Changed Everything</strong></em>, written by Shirley Cooklin and based on an idea by Maupassant, tells of a childless couple whose obsessive frugality has fateful repercussions. <strong>Nigel Lambert</strong> and <strong>Sheila Grant</strong> star as Charles and Clothilde Oreille. Finally, <em><strong>Meridian: Guy de Maupassant - Master of the Short Story</strong></em> explores Maupassants life, work and lasting legacy.</p><p>First published 1880 (The Dumpling), 1883 (<em>Une Vie,</em> The Hand), 1885 (<em>Bel-Ami</em>), 1886 (The Inn, Mademoiselle Pearl<em>)</em>, 1887 (<em>Pierre et Jean,</em> Le Horla), c1890 (Mouche, A Queer Night in Paris, Laid to Rest, Cockcrow<em>)</em></p><p><em>Production credits</em><br />Written by Guy de Maupassant</p><p><strong>Contents</strong>:</p><p><em><strong>Bel Ami</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>The Dumpling</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Pierre and Jean</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Une Vie</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>The Inn</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Mademoiselle Pearl</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>The Hand</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Maupassants Confessions of a Hedonist</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>How an Umbrella Changed Everything</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Meridian: Guy de Maupassant - Master of the Short Story</strong></em></p><p> 2023 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
