Description

Georges Duroy climbs Paris by charm, affairs, and a newspaper that rewards ruthlessness. Mistresses open doors; he closes them behind him. Spoken as Maupassant satire when ambition wears a handsome face.

Author

Guy de Maupassant was a French writer, considered one of the fathers of the modern short story. A protege of Flaubert, Maupassant's stories are characterized by their economy of style and clever plotting. With a natural aversion to society, he loved retirement, solitude, and meditation. He travelled extensively in Algeria, Italy, England, Brittany, Sicily, Auvergne, and from each voyage brought back a new volume.
