비곗덩어리 Boule de Suif
기 드 모파상기 드 모파상의 대표 단편인 『비곗덩어리』는 프랑스-프로이센 전쟁기를 배경으로, 인간 내면의 위선과 양면성을 날카롭게 파헤치는 사실주의 소설이다. 객관적이고 건조한 문체로 전쟁의 무의미함과 인간군상의 본성을 묘사하며, 계급과 집단의 위선이 극명하게 드러난다. 시각적이고 청각적으로 생생한 묘사, 극적인 갈등 구조, 그리고 신랄한 풍자가 조화를 이루는 이 작품은 플로베르, 지드, 졸라 등에게도 격찬받았다. 본 전자책에는 한글 번역본과 더불어 영문 원문을 함께 수록, 독자들이 원문과 번역을 비교해 읽으며 모파상의 문학을 깊이 음미할 수 있게 했다.
Guy de Maupassant’s celebrated short story, “Boule de Suif,” is a realist novel set during the Franco-Prussian War that incisively exposes the hypocrisy and duality within human nature. With an objective, unadorned narrative style, Maupassant captures the futility of war and the essential nature of people who are thrown together by chance, revealing the stark hypocrisies of class and group behavior. The story’s vivid visual and auditory descriptions, dramatic conflicts, and biting satire earned it praise from literary giants such as Flaubert, Gide, and Zola. This e-book features both the Korean translation and the original English text, allowing readers to savor Maupassant’s writing in both languages and engage more deeply with his world.
