Une écriture magnifique, quelques réflexions de personnages secondaires qui touchent profondément, des descriptions précises qui peignent superbement l’atmosphère de l’ancien Paris ! 
Mais comment apprécier les pensées d’un tel personnage avec son mépris et sa violence  envers les femmes, ses hypocrisies et ses colères mal placées ? 
Un grand classique mais que je ne revisiterai pas

Començaré pel més obvi: quin paio més detestable, en Bel Ami!

Una novel·la de tassetes centrada en l'ambició i l'escalada social gràcies a aprofitar-se de dones desgraciades en una societat patriarcal i hipòcrita dirigida per homes pusilànimes.

Colla de papanates!
