About This Novel
"Beautiful Friend" is the masterpiece of Maupassant's novels. Duroy, a junior officer of the French colonial army in Algeria, was bold, ruthless and cruel. He broke into Paris on his own with his good looks, and was introduced by a friend to work as a reporter for "La Vie Française." The novel reveals the emptiness, debauchery, and depravity of the upper class society, shows the shamelessness of bourgeois politicians, exposes the dark inside story of the political world and the press, and strongly criticizes the dark social reality.
