Enriched Edition. Literary Realism in 19th-Century FranceBy Gustave Flaubert
Length72h 2m
About this audiobook
Gathering Madame Bovary, Sentimental Education, November, A Simple Heart, Herodias, and other essential writings, this volume traces the full range of Flaubert's art: the pitiless anatomy of provincial illusion, the disenchanted chronicle of a generation, the lyrical apprenticeship tale, and the compressed perfection of his late stories. His prose is exacting, ironic, and musical, governed by the celebrated pursuit of le mot juste. In the context of nineteenth-century French realism, these works transform social observation into a rigorous aesthetic meditation on desire, stupidity, faith, and historical change. Gustave Flaubert, born in Rouen in 1821, was shaped by bourgeois Normandy, medical family surroundings, travels in the East, and a temperament at once romantic and severe. His legal prosecution for Madame Bovary confirmed his centrality to debates over morality and art. Withdrawn at Croisset, he made literature a discipline of impersonal form, revising obsessively to purge sentimentality while exposing its power. This collection is indispensable for readers seeking Flaubert beyond a single masterpiece. It offers both the monumental novels and the distilled brilliance of the shorter fiction, rewarding anyone interested in realism, modern narrative technique, and the tragic comedy of human self-deception.
