«Belle de jour» is the novel by Joseph Kessel, published by Argos Vergara in paperback (172 pages, in Spanish).
Séverine Serizy, a young bourgeois wife in 1920s Paris, leads a double life: in the afternoons she works as a high-class prostitute. Between the emptiness of her marriage and the search for independence, the novel addresses social hypocrisy, female desire and the city's underworld.

For readers of classic French fiction, erotic narrative and period portraits with social criticism.
Joseph Kessel, also known as "Jef", was a French journalist and novelist. He was a member of the Académie française and Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour.
