Böcker av Gustave Flaubert

First published in 1869, this deliberately written work follows the ambitions and whims of the young Frédéric Moreau as he travels from his provincial hometown to the enticing metropolis of Paris. Though he survived the Revolution of 1848, Moreau is still prone to all the mistakes and petty concerns of a young man of the middle class: he develops an infatuation for a married woman, Madame Arnoux, and falls in and out of love with her throughout the novel; his ambitious endeavors soon bore him and leave him with Parisian ennui; and, despite the founding of the Second French Empire, Moreau is disappointed by the lack of social progress around him. Through all of this disillusionment, the author makes it very clear that he saw his generation as one without true passion or genuine feeling, utilizing irony and pessimism to underscore the mood of that social and political time in the history of France. The last work of Flaubert published in his lifetime, "Sentimental Education" has since been hailed as one of the most influential novels of the 19th century. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Le Dictionnaire des idées reçues ou Catalogue des opinions chics est un ouvrage littéraire ironique et resté inachevé de Gustave Flaubert qui regroupe sous forme d'un dictionnaire des définitions et aphorismes de son imagination. Le Dictionnaire des idées reçues fut publié de manière posthume en 1913 après le travail d'édition scientifique d'Étienne-Louis Ferrère. Il comporte environ 1 000 définitions se rapportant à des noms communs ou des noms propres. Flaubert les traite avec humour, derrière une objectivité et une scientificité apparentes, avec un véritable sens de l'autodérision que l'on méconnaissait jusqu'ici chez l'auteur de Madame Bovary et de L'Éducation sentimentale.
