Bel-Ami(Folio (Gallimard))

Condition: Poor Condition — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Georges Duroi, dit Bel-Ami, est un jeune homme au physique avantageux. Le hasard d'une rencontre le met sur la voie de l'ascension sociale. Malgré sa vulgarité et son ignorance, cet arriviste parvient au sommet par l'intermédiaire de ses maîtresses et du journalisme. Cinq héroïnes vont tour à tour l'initier aux mystères du métier, aux secrets de la mondanité et lui assurer la réussite qu'il espère. Dans cette société parisienne en pleine expansion capitaliste et coloniale, que Maupassant dénonce avec force parce qu'il la connaît bien, les femmes éduquent, conseillent, oeuvrent dans l'ombre. La presse, la politique, la finance s'entremêlent. Mais derrière les combines politiques et financières, l'érotisme intéressé, la mort est là qui veille, et avec elle, l'angoisse que chacun porte au fond de lui-même.
