About This Item

New York. 1964. January 1964. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0451501985. Newly Translated From The French By Walter J. Cobb. Foreword By Henri Peyre. 127 pages. paperback. CP198. . keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Literature France Translated 19th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - 'Biographers and critics have generally hailed these three tales, Flaubert's last complete work, not only as his testament, but as the culmination and the summation of his literary career.' Thus writes Henri Peyre, who terms these classic stories 'the fittest initiation to the rest of Flaubert's works.' In them, the reader witnesses the astonishing scope of the author's creative imagination and the full range of his stylistic virtuosity. They deal with the life of a servant woman in nineteenth - century France, the terrible sins and atonement of a legendary medieval saint, and the violent conflict of races and religions during the first century of the Christian era. Whether Flaubert seeks to capture commonplace reality through his selection of essential detail, suspend disbelief with vivid and precise dream imagery, or re - create the oriental splendor and barbarous passions of the ancient world through richly sensuous description, he displays supreme mastery of his art. Flaubert has been praised by such writers as Kafka, Joyce, and Hemingway, and Allen Tate credits him with having 'created the modern novel. . created the modern short story. . created modern fiction.' Includes - A Simple Heart, The Legend of St. Julian The Hospitaler, & Herodias. inventory #29453 ISBN: 0451501985.
