Lola Montez: An Adventuress of the 'Forties

UNIFORM LIBRARY EDITION OF THE WORKS OF GUY DE MAUPASSANT , newly translated into English by Marjorie Laurie.
Volume 1. BEL-AMI.
“Bel-Ami” is an extraordinarily fine full-length portrait of an unscrupulous rascal who exploits his success with women for the furtherance of his ambitions. The book simmers with humorous observations, and, as a satire on politics and journalism, is no less biting because it is not bitter.
Volume 2. A LIFE.
This story of a woman’s life, harrowed first by the faithlessness of her husband and later by the worthlessness of her son, has been described as one of the saddest books that has ever been written; it is remorseless in its utter truthfulness.
Volume 3. “BOULE DE SUIF” and other Short Stories.
A story of the part played by a little French prostitute in an incident of the war of 1870. It was published in a collection of tales by distinguished French writers of the day, and was so clearly the gem of the collection that it established the Author at once as a master.
Volume 4. THE HOUSE OF TELLIER.
