Description

Being Maupassant's second-published novel, "Bel Ami" follows the vile and corrupt rags-to-riches rise to power of Georges Duroy, a young man of endless opportunities, but easily corrupted by the shining facade of power.

The protagonist's self-centred way of life involves his derogatory attitude towards women, sexual encounters, corrupt politicians, and money.

The novel is a strong social critique of Maupassant against the egotistical urges in a money- and power-driven society.

A Hollywood production came in 2012, starring Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman. -
