About the author

Gustave Flaubert was a French novelist. He has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country and abroad. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality". He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.

Attractive. Easy navigation.

The formating of this book is flawless and attractive, which makes for a rewarding reading experience. Navigation is painless: there is a table of contents at the beginning, and each novel has its own table of contents for choosing chapter. At the beginning of every work is a convenient link "return to table of contents".
