Bel Ami Author:Guy de Maupassant 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.
Enjoyed this book very much. The characters were very intense and the author did an excellent job of describing the locale and gave the readers an experience of being right there. Am looking forward to the screen version.
