Bel Ami, published in 1885, is the story of journalist Georges Duroy.

After 3 years of military service in Algeria, he arrives in Paris and six months later he was working as a clerk. An encounter with his former comrade, Forestier, enables him to start a career as a journalist. From here he works his way up the ladder of success climbing over anyone in his way. |
