About

Georges Duroy travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.

Nineteenth-century Paris serves as a lush, predatory playground where social status is bought through scandal and skin. This era of velvet salons and gutter-born ambition rewards those who weaponize desire to climb the political ladder.
