Maupassant's second novel, Bel-Ami (1885) is the story of a ruthlessly ambitious young man (Georges Duroy, christened "Bel-Ami" by his female admirers) making it to the top in fin-de-sihcle Paris. It is a novel about money, sex, and power, set against the background of the politics of the French colonization of North Africa. It explores the dynamics of an urban society uncomfortably close to our own and is a devastating satire of the sleaziness of contemporary journalism. Bel-Ami enjoys the status of an authentic record of the apotheosis of bourgeois capitalism under the Third Republic. But the creative tension between its analysis of modern behavior and its identifiably late nineteenth-century fabric is one of the reasons why Bel-Ami remains one of the finest French novels of its time, as well as being recognized as Maupassant's greatest achievement as a novelist.

Le roman raconte l'histoire d'une femme du monde, froide et sans coeur, frigide ou lesbienne peut- tre, comme Maupassant en a connu, qui se livre ici plus que dans aucun de ses romans. Le h ros, face cet tre fascinant et redoutable, prend une autre ma tresse, qui ne lui suffit gu re. Il est d vast par une passion amoureuse, violente, m lancolique et cruelle. C'est un roman douloureux, crit par un Maupassant d j malade, et qui dit comme un adieu aux femmes qui ont t le d sir, le tourment, et les victimes de sa vie.

" Tschah " exclaimed old Roland suddenly, after he had remained motionless for a quarter of an hour, his eyes fixed on the water, while now and again he very slightly lifted his line sunk in the sea. Mme. Roland, dozing in the stern by the side of Mme. Rosemilly, who had been invited to join the fishing-party, woke up, and turning her head to look at her husband, said: " Well, well Gerome." And the old fellow replied in a fury: " They do not bite at all. I have taken nothing since noon. Only men should ever go fishing. Women always delay the start till it is too late." His two sons, Pierre and Jean, who each held a line twisted round his forefinger, one to port and one to starboard, both began to laugh, and Jean remarked: " You are not very polite to our guest, father." M. Roland was abashed, and apologized.
