Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Three Tales (Monarch notes)

S'il y a bien un livre de Flaubert qu'il faut avoir lu, c'est bien "L'éducation sentimentale", histoire intemporelle et universelle. Cette saga romanesque, qui s'étale sur 25 ans, retient le lecteur de bout en bout avec le mécanisme d'un roman policier. On est presque déçu que celà s'arrête... mais quel bonheur et quelle perle de livre !

Flaubert wrote to his mistress, Louise Colet: "An author in his book must be like God in the universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere." In his books, Flaubert sought to observe that principle; but in his many impassioned letters he allowed his feelings to overflow, revealing himself in all of his human complexity. Sensuous, witty, exalted, ironic, grave, analytical, the letters illustrate the artist's life--and they trumpet his artistic opinions--in an outpouring of uninhibited eloquence. An acknowledged master of translation, Francis Steegmuller has given us by far the most generous and varied selection of Flaubert's letters in English. He presents these with an engrossing narrative that places them in the context of the writer's life and times. We follow Flaubert through his unhappy years at law school, through his tumultuous affair with Louise Colet; we share his days and nights amid the temples and brothels of Egypt, then on to Palestine, Turkey, Greece, and Rome. And the letters chronicle one of the central events in literary history--the conception and composition of what has been called the first modern novel, Madame Bovary. Steegmuller's selection concludes with Flaubert's standing trial for immoral writing, Madame Bovary's immediate popular success, and Baudelaire's celebration of its psychological and literary power. Throughout this exposition in Flaubert's own words of his views on life, literature, and the passions, readers of his novels will be powerfully reminded of the fertility of his genius, and delighted by his poetic enthusiasm. "Let us sing to Apollo as in ancient days," he wrote to Louise Colet, "and breathe deeply of the fresh cold air of Parnassus; let us strum our guitars and clash our cymbals and whirl like dervishes in the eternal hubbub of forms and ideas!" Flaubert's letters are documents of life and art; lovers of literature and of the literary adventure can rejoice in this edition.

Excerpt from Correspondance Entre George Sand Et Gustave FlaubertCette femme supérieure, si modestement admirable, voua sa vie à la grande âme qu'elle appelait si joli ment bonne mère et que d'autres ont nommée la bonne dame de Nohant Elle fut le ministre secret de ses charités et, sans ostentation, sans phrases, elle s'ingénia à écarter de l'existence de madame Sand tous les ennuis ou les soucis qui auraient pu l'alteindre. Agir et s'efi'acer ces deux verbes résumèrent sa vie.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

That Sartre's study of Flaubert, The Family Idiot, is a towering achievement in intellectual history has never been disputed. Yet critics have argued about the precise nature of this novel, or biography, or "criticism-fiction" which is the summation of Sartre's philosophical, social, and literary thought. Sartre writes, simply, in the preface to the book: "The Family Idiot is the sequel to The Question of Method. The subject: what, at this point in time, can we know about a man? It seemed to me that this question could only be answered by studying a specific case." "A man is never an individual," Sartre writes, "it would be more fitting to call him a universal singular. Summed up and for this reason universalized by his epoch, he in turn resumes it by reproducing himself in it as singularity. Universal by the singular universality of human history, singular by the universalizing singularity of his projects, he requires simultaneous examination from both ends." This is the method by which Sartre examines Flaubert and the society in which he existed. Now this masterpiece is being made available in an inspired English translation that captures all the variations of Sartre's style—from the jaunty to the ponderous—and all the nuances of even the most difficult ideas. Volume 1 consists of Part One of the original French work, La Constitution, and is primarily concerned with Flaubert's childhood and adolescence.

Seen by many as the culmination of Sartre's thought and project, and viewed by Sartre himself as an attempt to answer the question, "What, at this point in time, can we know about a man?" this monumental work continues to perplex its fascinated critics and admirers, who have argued about its precise nature. However, as reviews of the first volume in this translation agreed, whatever The Family Idiot may be called—"a dialectic" (Fredric Jameson, New York Times Book Review); "biography, philosophy, or politics? Surely . . . all of these together" (Renee Winegarten, Commentary); "a new form of fiction?" (Victor Brombert, Times Literary Supplement); or simply, "mad, of course" (Julian Barnes, London Review of Books)—its prominent place in intellectual history is indisputable. Volume 4 consists of part three, books one and two, of the original French work. This volume, the fourth in a projected five-volume English-language edition, includes Sartre's discussion of the onset of Flaubert's illness, or neurosis, in 1844, and a significant reading of his L'Education sentimentale. Sartre's approach to his complex subject, whether jaunty or judicious, psychoanalytic or political, is captured in all of its rich variety in Carol Cosman's translation.

Madame Bovary is perhaps the first "modern" novel.  It has always been the most popular of Flaubert's books, and the character of Emma Bovary, a beautiful young woman longing to escape from her dull husband and the constrictions of bourgeois life, is one of the most compelling figures in all literature.  The story of her adulteries and financial ruin was so shocking to mid-nineteenth-century readers that the author was charged with "offenses against public morals and religion."  Flaubert's style, with its elegant, sculpted sentences and passionately observed detail, is rendered here in the classic translation by Francis Steegmuller, who has written widely on Flaubert and is the editor and translator of his letters.

In this volume we learn of the young Flaubert, unhappy at school, tormented as a lover. We travel with him to the temples and brothels of Egypt; to Palestine, Turkey, and then later to Tunisia. We witness the genesis of some of the most remarkable literature of his time, and even settle down with him, at last, to a cultured and financially insecure old age.

In vivid detail, Sartre renders Flaubert's secondary-school experiences and relationships: his part in a student rebellion against the faculty, his teenage infatuation with Romantic literature, his friendships and rivalries with his classmates, and the ironies inherent in the schoolboys' bourgeois existence. Sartre then discusses Flaubert's years at law school, where he studied at his father's insistence. This volume also contains Sartre's most sustained analysis of Madame Bovary.

Appearing in a single volume for the very first time, an illuminating and enrichingly annotated selection of correspondence from one of Western literature's most revered writers.Appearing in a single volume for the very first time, an illuminating and enrichingly annotated selection of correspondence from one of Western literature's most revered writers."If there is one article of faith that dominates the Credoof Gustave Flaubert's correspondence," Francis Steegmullerwrites in the introduction to this selection of Flaubert'sletters, "it is that the function of great art is not to provide'answers.'" The Letters of Gustave Flaubert is above all a record of the intransigent questions-personal, political,artistic-with which Flaubert struggled throughout his life.Here we have Flaubert's youthful, sensual outpourings to his mistress, the poet Louise Colet, and, as he advances, still unknown, into his thirties, the wrestle to write Madame Bovary. We hear, too, of his life-changing trip to Egypt, as described to family and friends, and then there are lively exchanges with Baudelaire, with the influential critic Sainte-Beuve, and with Guy de Maupassant, his young protege. Flaubert's letters to George Sand reveal her as the great confidante of his later years.Steegmuller's book, a classic in its own right, is botha splendid life of Flaubert in his own words and the arspoetica of the master who laid the foundations for modernwriters from James Joyce to Lydia Davis. Originally issued in two volumes, the book appears here for the first time under a single cover. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
