Bel Ami, or The History of a Scoundrel by Guy de Maupassant (1850 - 1893)
LibriVox
Though firmly set in 1880s Paris, Maupassant's gripping story of an amoral journalist on the make could, with only slight modifications of detail, be updated to the 1960s, to the Reagan-Thatcher years, or maybe to the present day. Anti-hero Georges Duroy is a down-at-heel ex-soldier of no particular talent.

A Hollywood screen adaptation is in preparation at the time of recording.
