Summary "Œuvres complètes de Guy de Maupassant - volume 13" by Guy de Maupassant is a collection of literary works written in the late 19th century. This particular volume prominently features the novel "Bel-Ami," focusing on themes of ambition, social ascent, and romantic entanglements in Parisian society. The protagonist, Georges Duroy, is an ex-soldier who navigates through his financial struggles while seeking personal and social advancement, all driven by a charismatic facade. The opening of "Bel-Ami" introduces Georges Duroy as he departs from a restaurant, reflecting on his modest finances and his aspirations for a more glamorous life. As he traverses the bustling Parisian streets, he contemplates the nature of love and interactions with women, showcasing his charm and somewhat dubious morals. An encounter with an old comrade, Forestier, opens doors for him into journalism, and the stage is set for his attempts to integrate himself into the upper echelons of society while grappling with temptations and desires. The narrative sets a vivid backdrop of Paris in the summer, filled with richly drawn characters and intricate social dynamics that foreshadow Duroy's tumultuous journey ahead.
