Description
To whom does Georges Duroy owe his irresistible rise? To the women seduced by his youth and beauty. The little girl of one of his mistresses will nickname him Bel-Ami. And this son of Norman innkeepers, from Canteleu, will become Baron Du Roy de Cantel. Friendship will open the door to his journalistic career. Love will bring him money and glory. Maupassant was a journalist. He experienced this Parisian world of the 19th century, the editorial offices that make and break ministries, and their annexes, the high-society salons where intrigues and affairs are born. His portraits of women consumed by love or ambition, his depictions of the Seine Valley in Rouen, his carriages on the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, are the work of a painter. Maupassant was a master of storytelling.
