Madame Bovary + Salammbô + Sentimental Education (3 Unabridged Classics) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. French Realist Classics of Desire, Revolution, and Ancient CarthageBy Gustave Flaubert
Length46h 59m
About this audiobook
This volume gathers three unabridged masterpieces by Gustave Flaubert, displaying the breadth of his art: Madame Bovary's devastating anatomy of provincial boredom and romantic illusion; Salammbô's opulent, archaeological reimagining of ancient Carthage; and Sentimental Education's cool, ironic chronicle of desire amid the political upheavals of 1848. Together they reveal Flaubert's exacting prose, impersonal narration, and foundational role in literary realism, even as his luxuriant historical imagination complicates any simple label. Flaubert (1821–1880), born in Rouen to a medical family, transformed acute observation, disciplined research, and aesthetic austerity into a lifelong literary method. His hatred of bourgeois complacency, his fascination with failed longing, and his pursuit of "le mot juste" shaped works that were both scandalous and revolutionary. Madame Bovary, prosecuted for immorality, made his reputation; Salammbô reflects his antiquarian rigor; Sentimental Education draws deeply on his generation's disillusionment. This collection is ideal for readers seeking not merely famous novels, but a sustained encounter with one of the supreme craftsmen of modern fiction. It rewards those interested in realism, historical imagination, psychological irony, and the painful comedy of human aspiration.
