Enriched Edition. Realism, Desire, and DisillusionBy Gustave Flaubert
Length72h 5m
About this audiobook
Gathering Flaubert's major fiction—from the devastating provincial anatomy of Madame Bovary to the historical disillusionment of Sentimental Education, the youthful introspection of November, and the lapidary tales A Simple Heart and Herodias—this collection displays the full range of his art. Its prose is exacting, ironic, and sensuous, shaped by Flaubert's famous pursuit of "le mot juste." Situated between Romantic inheritance and modern realism, these works expose desire, faith, politics, and bourgeois self-deception with a discipline that helped redefine the European novel. Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880), born in Rouen to a family connected with medicine and provincial respectability, became one of the nineteenth century's most rigorous literary craftsmen. His travels in the Near East, his retreat from conventional public life, and his legal prosecution for Madame Bovary all sharpened his suspicion of cliché, sentimentality, and social hypocrisy. His work reflects both intimate psychological knowledge and a nearly scientific devotion to form. This volume is highly recommended for readers seeking the foundations of modern narrative art. It offers not only Flaubert's masterpieces but also the evolution of a mind that transformed realism into a severe, beautiful, and enduring literary method.
