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.
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.
