"Love is the only joy in life, but we often ruin it by making too great demands..."
However, Georges Duroy, the protagonist of Guy de Maupassant's novel Bel Ami, has a very different view of romance: for him, love is certainly not a true feeling, but an imitation of it—merely the price paid for the material embodiment of those same "great demands." A former military man and unscrupulous journalist, using deception, his seductive appearance, and the connections of his married mistresses, quickly achieves success in high society, just as "sweet" as he is... An ambitious gigolo, a callous cynic accustomed to receiving earthly goods from women, became one of the symbols of his time and immortalized the name of his author in the history of world culture.
Guy de Maupassant subtly and masterfully captured spiritual, social, and natural vibrations, exploring the properties of passion. Maupassant's heroes found themselves between light and shadow, sincerity and hypocrisy, their lives becoming a price to pay for a moment of happiness or for a dream of it.
