[La Maison Tellier - Killing In The Name / 3:54]
Guy de Maupassant (born August 5, 1850, Château de Miromesnil?, near Dieppe, France - died July 6, 1893, Paris) was a French author of the naturalistic school who is generally considered the greatest French short story writer.
La Maison Tellier born at the end of 2003, is a French band hailing from Rouen (in Normandy not far from Dieppe) and pitches four half-brothers together: Alexandre, Leon, Raoul and Helmut Tellier. They create a folk music of their own, sometimes in French, sometimes in English.
What links two? say you. Well, it so happens that "La Maison Tellier" is the name of a brothel and the title of one of Maupassant's most praised short stories. (It was also adapted by Max Ophuls in "Le Plaisir" in 1952)
