About This Novel
This book is a collection of masterpieces by Maupassant, the "King of Short Stories". "Beautiful Friend" describes the experience of Duroy, a clerk, who made his fortune. He lives at the bottom of society, and by chance, works in a newspaper. He relied on his appearance to win people's favor, and used various despicable and dirty methods to climb up the ladder. In the end, he became the son-in-law of a millionaire and a celebrity in the Paris press. "Ball de Suif" tells the story of the prostitute "Ball de Suif" who was forced to sacrifice her life to the enemy. It depicts the ugly face of property owners who disregard national dignity for their own interests. It vividly depicts the social scene of France during the war. It is praised as "a masterpiece that is exemplary both ideologically and artistically." "My Uncle Jules" not only exposes the supremacy of money and the indifference of family affection in capitalist society, but also profoundly reveals the complexity of human nature, the cruelty and drama of life.

My beautiful friends are good-looking, and I can't say that the male protagonist is degenerate, but just adapting to society. After all, the circle is very chaotic, and they just take advantage of each other.
Especially beautiful.
A classic, it's a pity that it died young
Quite impressive
The characters are drawn so well
Classic, worthy of everyone
Not bad, still so beautiful
Great! ! Come on! ! ! !
Wonderful irony
It took me a week to finally finish reading it!
