Book excerpt: POVERTY After changing his five-franc piece Georges Duroy left the restaurant. He twisted his mustache in military style and cast a rapid, sweeping glance upon the diners, among whom were three saleswomen, an untidy music-teacher of uncertain age, and two women with their husbands. When he reached the sidewalk, he paused to consider what route he should take. It was the twenty-eighth of June and he had only three francs in his pocket to last him the remainder of the month. That meant two dinners and no lunches, or two lunches and no dinners, according to choice. As he pondered upon this unpleasant state of affairs, he sauntered down Rue Notre Dame de Lorette, preserving his military air and carriage, and rudely jostled the people upon the streets in order to clear a path for himself. He appeared to be hostile to the passers-by, and even to the houses, the entire city. Tall, well-built, fair, with blue eyes, a curled mustache, hair naturally wavy and parted in the middle, he recalled the hero of the popular romances. It was one of those sultry, Parisian evenings when not a breath of air is stirring; the sewers exhaled poisonous gases and the restaurants the disagreeable odors of cooking and of kindred smells. Porters in their shirt-sleeves, astride their chairs, smoked their pipes at the carriage gates, and pedestrians strolled leisurely along, hats in hand.

Book excerpt: Young, attractive and very ambitious, George Duroy, known to his friends as Bel-Ami, is offered a job as a journalist on La Vie francaise and soon makes a great success of his new career. But he also comes face to face with the realities of the corrupt society in which he lives - the sleazy colleagues, the manipulative mistresses and wily financiers - and swiftly learns to become an arch-seducer, blackmailer and social climber in a world where love is only a means to an end. Written when Maupassant was at the height of his powers, Bel-Ami is a novel of great frankness and cynicism, but it is also infused with the sheer joy of life - depicting the scenes and characters of Paris in the belle epoque with wit, sensitivity and humanity.

Download or read book Bel-Ami written by Guy de Maupassant and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maupassant's second novel, Bel-Ami (1885) is the story of a ruthlessly ambitious young man (Georges Duroy, christened "Bel-Ami" by his female admirers) making it to the top in fin-de-sihcle Paris. It is a novel about money, sex, and power, set against the background of the politics of the French colonization of North Africa. It explores the dynamics of an urban society uncomfortably close to our own and is a devastating satire of the sleaziness of contemporary journalism. Bel-Ami enjoys the status of an authentic record of the apotheosis of bourgeois capitalism under the Third Republic. But the creative tension between its analysis of modern behavior and its identifiably late nineteenth-century fabric is one of the reasons why Bel-Ami remains one of the finest French novels of its time, as well as being recognized as Maupassant's greatest achievement as a novelist. This new translation is complemented by fullest introduction and notes of any edition currently available.

This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant ( 5 August 1850 - 6 July 1893) was a French writer, remembered as a master of the short story form, and as a representative of the naturalist school of writers, who depicted human lives and destinies and social forces in disillusioned and often pessimistic terms. Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert and his stories are characterized by economy of style and efficient, effortless dénouements (outcomes). Many are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s, describing the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught up in events beyond their control, are permanently changed by their experiences. He wrote some 300 short stories, six novels, three travel books, and one volume of verse. His first published story, "Boule de Suif" ("Ball of Fat," 1880), is often considered his masterpiece. Henri-René-Albert-Guy de Maupassant was born 5 August 1850 at the Château de Miromesnil (Castle Miromesnil, near Dieppe in the Seine-Inférieure (now Seine-Maritime) department in France. He was the first son of Laure Le Poittevin and Gustave de Maupassant, both from prosperous bourgeois families. His mother urged his father when they married in 1846 to obtain the right to use the particule or form "de Maupassant" instead of "Maupassant" as his family name, in order to indicate noble birth. Gustave discovered a certain Jean-Baptiste Maupassant, conseiller-secrétaire to the King, who was ennobled in 1752. He then obtained from the Tribunal Civil of Rouen by decree dated 9 July 1846 the right to style himself "de Maupassant" instead of "Maupassant" and this was his surname at the birth of his son Guy in 1850.[3] When Maupassant was 11 and his brother Hervé was five, his mother, an independent-minded woman, risked social disgrace to obtain a legal separation from her husband, who was violent towards her. After the separation, Laure Le Poittevin kept her two sons. With the father's absence, Maupassant's mother became the most influential figure in the young boy's life.She was an exceptionally well-read woman and was very fond of classical literature, particularly Shakespeare. Until the age of thirteen, Guy happily lived with his mother, at Étretat, in the Villa des Verguies, where, between the sea and the luxuriant countryside, he grew very fond of fishing and outdoor activities. At age thirteen, his mother next placed her two sons as day boarders in a private school, the Institution Leroy-Petit, in Rouen-the Institution Robineau of Maupassant's story La Question du Latin-for classical studies.From his early education he retained a marked hostility to religion, and to judge from verses composed around this time he deplored the ecclesiastical atmosphere, its ritual and discipline. Finding the place to be unbearable, he finally got himself expelled in his next-to-last year...........

Book excerpt: An ambitious man ascends the ranks of French society through a series of duplicitous affairs in this nineteenth–century novel of greed, sex, and power. A journalist and former cavalry officer in French Algeria, Georges Duroy is young, handsome, and ruthlessly cunning. Born to humble parents in Normandy, Duroy acquires inside knowledge of Parisian society and politics through his friendship with Madeleine Forestier, the wife of a former comrade. Forestier helps Duroy attain status and professional success by leveraging her contacts and writing some of his articles. They marry soon after, only for her to later become his nemesis. A vividly rendered portrait of bourgeois capitalism under the Third Republic, Bel Ami is a timeless tale of corruption and shameless manipulation. First published in 1885, it established Guy de Maupassant’s reputation as one of France’s great novelists.

Book excerpt: 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 ». Georges arrive à maturité en tant que grimpeur sociale ruse avec un oeil vif pour les préférences et prédilections des classes supérieures françaises, décollement habilement son chemin vers une position de pouvoir. Depuis sa version originale, Bel Ami a reçu plusieurs adaptations pour l'écran d'argent, la télévision et la radio, et est considéré aujourd'hui un classique de la fiction Française.
