The Complete Works: Novels, Short Stories, Plays, Memoirs and Letters (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. From Madame Bovary to Sentimental Education: French realism in novels, tales, lettersBy Gustave Flaubert
Length192h 53m
About this audiobook
This comprehensive volume gathers Gustave Flaubert's novels, short fiction, plays, memoirs, and letters, presenting the full range of a writer who transformed nineteenth-century prose. From the austere perfection of Madame Bovary to the historical richness of Salammbô, the ironic education of sentiment in Sentimental Education, and the symbolic compression of Three Tales, the collection reveals Flaubert's devotion to exact language, impersonal narration, and formal discipline. It situates him at the crossing point of Romantic inheritance, Realist observation, and modernist anticipation. Flaubert (1821–1880), born in Rouen and shaped by bourgeois provincial life, legal studies abandoned for literature, and extensive travel in the Mediterranean and Near East, wrote against cliché with almost ascetic rigor. His correspondence illuminates the famous pursuit of le mot juste and the artistic convictions behind his fiction: hatred of stupidity, fascination with desire and illusion, and a belief that style itself could become a moral and intellectual force. This edition is indispensable for readers seeking not merely Flaubert's masterpieces but the architecture of his entire imagination. It will reward students of realism, lovers of refined prose, and anyone interested in how modern fiction learned to see, judge, and withhold judgment.
This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience.
