Has anyone read the Necklace by Guy de Mauspassant? I like his writing just was not thrilled with Bel-Ami. I also heard that his short stories were very good.

If you can read it in French, it's even better. A splendid story of pride going before temptation, a haughty spirit before a fall....and of honor and redemption - and misunderstanding. Don't miss it!

And although Bel-Ami is less often read, it's a compelling portrait of a charming, sexy, amoral, greedy man. It strikes me he probably commits all of the 7 so-called deadly sins at one point or another... pride, avarice, lechery, envy, wrath, indolence and greed. What a guy! and how real!(less)
