Books with author Guy De Maupassant

Bel-Ami - conte classique de Guy de Maupassant de la manipulation et de l'ambition - est publié ici à nouveau dans une édition superbement présenté.Dans cette histoire, nous suivons Georges Duroy comme il se lève dans la station d'un agent faiblement classé à l'une des figures les plus riches et les plus respectés dans la société Parisienne. Le protagoniste rusé atteint son succès en manipulant une série de maîtresses riches et influentes, entrer en contact avec chacun via son nouveau travail en tant que journaliste.Publié en 1885, ce roman voit Georges atteindre progressivement une influence via mariage stratégique et l'infidélité. Un tournant notable dans l'intrigue est quand nous voyons Georges signer ses articles comme 'Du Roy' - un style aristocratique de nom français - plutôt que son nom de famille réelle qui est simplement« Duroy ».
