Bel Ami
The world is a masquerade where success goes to the scoundrels. Success, honors, women and power: the world has hardly changed. We still meet – minus the moustaches – in newsrooms and elsewhere, these young adventurers of upward mobility and sex. Like Flaubert, but with a laugh, Maupassant said of his character, the odious Duroy: “Bel-Ami, c’est moi.” And in their cynicism, sensual fury, atheism and fear of death, they were pretty much alike. But Bel-Ami couldn’t write, and became the lover and slave driver of a talented, brilliant woman. Maupassant, on the other hand, was an immense writer. Already universal, his realism, obsessions and neuroses are still very much alive today.
Le petit prince
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince is a timeless masterpiece of world literature. This poetic and philosophical tale tells the adventures of a young prince from another planet who travels across the universe, encountering enigmatic characters and offering profound reflections on friendship, love, loss, and the meaning of life. Through the innocent eyes of
the Little Prince, Saint-Exupéry reminds us of the importance of seeing beyond appearances and rediscovering the beauty of what is essential. Full of wisdom and emotion, this book is a
celebration of the imagination and the human heart.
