Publisher's note

Maupassant's second novel, Bel-Ami (1885) is the story of a ruthlessly ambitious young man making it to the top in fin-de-siecle Paris. It is a novel about money, sex, and power, set against the background of the politics of the French colonization of North Africa. This new translation is complemented by fullest introduction and notes of any edition.

Annotation

Georges Duroy comes to Paris as a provincial young man determined to become a great success in journalism. Maupassant shows the inevitable hypocrisy and corrupting effects of this quest and the shameless mediocrity that pervades the highest levels of Paris society, especially as Duroy's rise owes more to his looks and his ability to seduce the right women than to his talents as a reporter. And yet, Maupassant retains a celebratory attitude that life must be lived fully if it is to be lived at all.
