Features: The Beautiful Lady is a highly influential novel by the renowned French writer Guy de Maupassant. Two years after its publication in 1887, it had already gone into 51 editions. The great success of The Beautiful Lady enabled Maupassant to buy a yacht, which he named The Beautiful Lady. This book has been adapted from the original work to suit young readers. The novel The Beautiful Lady portrays the image of a ruthless speculator and offers a sharp satire and critique of Georges Duroy's rapid rise to prominence in a short period. The novel profoundly reveals the political and economic phenomena of French society in the late 19th century, truly earning its place as a classic French novel of the 19th century.
