About this listen

Guy de Maupassant is revered for his naturalistic fiction, which brilliantly captures flesh-and-blood characters as it evokes the most telling details of everyday life. Considered one of the finest French novels ever written, Bel Ami follows journalist Georges Duroy and his increasing stature among the Paris elite. With an immense thirst for power, Georges is not above an almost gleeful use of wealthy mistresses to achieve his ends.

Biography of a rotter

This is a story of yellow journalism, and a narcissistic sexual predator.

I kept waiting for the protagonist to get his comeuppance, but he didn't. This is the 19th century.

I would not read this book again.
