A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant[1] (5 August 1850 – 6 July 1893) was a popular 19th-century French writer, considered one of the fathers of the modern short story and one of the form's finest exponents. A protégé of Flaubert, Maupassant's stories are characterized by their economy of style and efficient, effortless dénouement. Many of the stories are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s and several describe the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught in the conflict, emerge changed. He also wrote six novels.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Returning from three years of military service in Algeria, journalist Georges Duroy takes advantage of his mistresses to achieve success. He wields his charm with unscrupulous ambition, becoming one of the most powerful men in Paris. In his 1885 novel “Bel Ami,” Maupassant constructs a cynical portrait of human nature.
