| Synopsis Georges Duroy comes to Paris as a provincial young man determined to become a great success in journalism. Maupassant shows the inevitable hypocrisy and corrupting effects of this quest and the shameless mediocrity that pervades the highest levels of Paris society, especially as Duroy's rise owes more to his looks and his ability to seduce the right women than to his talents as a reporter. And yet, Maupassant retains a celebratory attitude that life must be lived fully if it is to be lived at all.
