The unnamed narrator of The Nature of a Crime is a lawyer in a difficult situation: he has been entrusted with looking after the assets of a wealthy family—but he’s lost most of it gambling. Some small portion remains, and he still has hopes of recovering his losses. But when his client announces that he’s getting married and requires his funds returned immediately, the narrator finds himself on the verge of suicide. He writes letters to his lover explaining his predicament in an attempt to come to terms with his actions.

This short story, first published in 1909, is the last of three collaborations between Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford. It never saw contemporary critical or commercial success and thus remained out of print for many years. In 1924 it was reissued with new prefaces by the authors written about two months before Conrad’s death.

Georges Duroy returns to Paris from military service in Algeria penniless. After meeting up with an old friend, he finds journalism work at a renowned newspaper. He gradually climbs the ranks to chief-editor—but all this time, he hasn’t been using his wit as a writer, but rather the clever manipulation of the women around him, to get ahead.

Bel Ami is Guy de Maupassant’s second novel. It was first published in 1885 and was an instant success, with fifty more editions appearing in the following two years. This translation by Vizetelly & Co. was published in 1888. Bel Ami shows the rampant corruption prevalent in 19th century French high society.
