Belle de jour is a novel by French writer Joseph Kessel, published in 1928. The story follows Séverine Serizy, a young bourgeois woman who leads a double life as a high-class prostitute. Caught between her conventional marriage and her repressed desires, Séverine seeks a form of escape and self-exploration in the forbidden world of pleasure and decadence. The novel explores themes of desire, repression, identity, and the search for personal freedom in a restrictive society.
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.
