Gustave Flaubert

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘…for her, life was as cold as an attic with a window looking to the north, and ennui, like a spider, was silently spinning its shadowy web in every cranny of her heart.’ Married to Charles, a provincial doctor, Emma Bovary yearns for a more glamorous life. Disenchanted with her husband and seeking an escape from their dull marriage she is soon tempted into a brief romantic liaison with another man. Although short-lived, she remains desirous of passion and the finer things in life and embarks on another affair, destroying her reputation. Considered scandalous at the time, Emma Bovary’s superficial and immoral behaviour shocked readers and caused moral outcry. Flaubert holds up to ridicule not only Madame Bovary herself, but the society that dares to judge her.

A selection of Flaubert's letters, with a fascinating look at his life and work by Caroline Commanville.

The main theme of Gustave Flaubert's ""Three Short Works"" revolves around the complexity of human experience and the interplay between life, death, and spirituality. In ""The Dance of Death,"" the narrative unfolds through a series of allegorical encounters between Death and various individuals, illustrating the universality of mortality. ""The Legend of Saint-Julian the Hospitaller"" presents themes of redemption and the transformative power of compassion. Julian's journey from a violent past to a life of service highlights the struggle between innate tendencies and the possibility of change. ""A Simple Soul"" delves into the life of F licit , whose unwavering devotion and simple faith illuminate the beauty and profundity of ordinary existence. Through her story, Flaubert examines the complexities of love, loss, and the search for meaning. Together, these works reflect Flaubert's exploration of existential themes, the human condition, and the search for understanding in a world filled with contradictions.

This carefully edited collection of three tales has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. A Simple Heart is a story about a servant girl named Felicite. After her one and only love Theodore purportedly marries a well-to-do woman to avoid conscription, Felicite quits the farm where she works and heads for Pont-l'aque, where she picks up work in a widow's house as a servant. It was inspired by several events in Flaubert's own life: he also lived in a farmhouse in rural Normandy, he also was adrift in his studies, much like Paul. Most importantly, he suffered an epileptic fit in the same way that Felicite does in the story. The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitalier is a story about Julian the Hospitaller. He is predicted at birth to do great things. His father is told that he will marry into the family of a great emperor, while his mother is told he will be a saint. It was inspired by a large stained glass window at Rouen Cathedral. Flaubert deliberately made his story markedly different from the story told in glass. ""Harodias"" is the retelling of the beheading of John the Baptist. It starts slightly before the arrival of the Syrian governor, Vitellius. Herodias holds a huge birthday celebration for her second husband, Herod Antipas. Unknown to him, she has concocted a plan to behead John. It is based on the biblical figure of the same name. Flaubert based the section on the dance of Salom from a bas-relief also at Rouen Cathedral, and his own experience watching a young female dancer while in Egypt. Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was an influential French writer who was perhaps the leading exponent of literary realism of his country.
