Dissertation Bel Ami Roman Realiste - Dissertation Bel Ami.
Young, attractive and very ambitious, George Duroy, known to his friends as Bel-Ami, is offered a job as a journalist on La Vie francaise and soon makes a great success of his new career. But he also comes face to face with the realities of the corrupt society in which he lives - the sleazy colleagues, the manipulative mistresses and wily financiers - and swiftly learns to become an arch.
Bel-Ami is different, he is relevant to the modern reader and his business of journalism and politics has not changed much. I don't want to give away the plot, other than to say that this is a story of moral decay, exploitation and corruption set within a sleazy business world; it is a story of lust, greed and power.
