Afloat is the story of Maupassant's voyage around the Mediterranean coast aboard his yacht, the Bel-Ami. It is not only the record of a voyage, but a portrait of life at sea and of French provincial life on the land. It is also a confession: Maupassant reflects on the literary life, society, women, and politics, and his intimate thoughts are accompanied by the rhythms of the sea and the wind. This edition includes previously unpublished translations of three articles by Maupassant. Sur l'eau was first published in 1888 by Marpon et Flammarion; the first English translation, by Laura Ensor, appeared from Routledge in 1889. Johnston later wrote the 1,336-page biography Guy de Maupassant (Fayard, 2012). Contents: Introduction; Acknowledgements; Maps (The Cote d'Azur as Maupassant knew it; Cannes to Antibes; Saint-Raphael to Saint-Tropez); Afloat; Appendices (War; In the Presence of Death; The Carthusian Monastery of La Verne); Chronology; Select Bibliography.…
