Description

Georges Duroy grew up a peasant, but now has the opportunity to rise to the upper-middle class. After spending three years in the military, Duroy starts a career as a journalist, making connections with politicians who provide him with confidential information for his articles. By seducing and manipulating a series of powerful, intelligent, and wealthy women, Duroy is able to become one of the most powerful men in France.

Bel-Ami is a satire on those who let nothing stand in the way of their ambitions. It is based on Maupassant’s observations of cynical businessmen and journalists in Paris. Bel-Ami is Guy de Maupassant’s second novel. It was originally published in 1885, with the English version coming out in 1903. It has since been adapted for film, television, and theatre.

This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.
