Flaubert: A Life by Frederick Brown
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4 MB
Overview: Gustave Flaubert, whose Madame Bovary outraged France’s right-thinking bourgeoisie when it was first published in 1857, is brought to life in Frederick Brown’s new biography in all his singularity and brilliance. Frederick Brown’s portrayal is of an artist fraught with contradictions – his wit and bravado coexisting with great vulnerability.
A sedentary man by nature, Flaubert undertook epic voyages through Egypt and the Middle East. He could be flamboyantly uncouth, but was fanatically devoted to a beautifully cadenced prose. While energized by his camaraderie with male friends, such as Turgenev, the Goncourt brothers, Zola and Maupassant, he depended for emotional nurturing upon maternal women, most notably George Sand.
