“Bel Ami”
Guy de Maupassant’s book “Bel Ami” is a classic French novel with an “anti-hero” in the lead role. Young journalist Georges Duroy tries to make a name for himself in Paris. He’s talentless, greedy, cowardly, and illiterate, but very handsome. It’s a grim story about how intelligent and talented women become victims of their own blindness. The novel serves as a vaccine against stories involving manipulative men for a lifetime.
