Lacking money and social position, he discovers that charm, manipulation and romantic relationships can open doors that talent alone cannot. As Duroy advances through journalism, politics and the salons of the wealthy, Maupassant exposes corruption, hypocrisy and opportunism within French society. Clever, cynical and sharply observed, the novel is both a compelling story of social climbing and a powerful satire of ambition and moral compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216360227155,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421091938643,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/bel-ami-folio-society-80","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
