Delphi Complete Works of Gustave Flaubert (Illustrated) - ebook
Noted for his scrupulous devotion to style and aesthetics, Gustave Flaubert was a highly influential figure of nineteenth century literature, widely considered the leading exponent of French literary realism. His debut novel ‘Madame Bovary’ (1857) caused a scandal, as public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial made the story notorious and after Flaubert's acquittal, it became an instant bestseller. Today, it is regarded as a seminal work of literary realism and one of the most influential literary works of the time. This comprehensive eBook offers the most complete collection ever compiled of Flaubert’s fictional works in English translation, with numerous illustrations, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
