Three Tales by Gustave Flaubert

ISBN: 9780140448009 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 592 PUBLICATION DATE: 27.01.2005 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX8mm 113grams

DESCRIPTION: First published in 1877, these three stories are dominated by questions of doubt, love, loneliness and religious experience, and together form a triumphant conclusion to Flaubert's literary career. With elegant simplicity, A Simple Heart' relates the story of Felicite - an uneducated serving-woman who retains her Catholic faith despite a life of desolation and loss. Inspired by a stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral, The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator' describes the fate of Julian, a sadistic hunter destined to murder his own parents. The blend of faith and cruelty that dominates this story may also be found in Herodias' - a reworking of the tale of Salome and John the Baptist.
