Happy birthday Gustave Flaubert, born on this day in 1821. Although best known for his masterpiece Madame Bovary, Flaubert's life's obsession, which he spent nearly thirty years working on, was a surreal and largely ‘unreadable’ retelling of the temptation of Saint Anthony. Colin Dickey explores how it was only in the dark and compelling illustrations of Odilon Redon, made years later, that Flaubert’s strangest work finally came to life: https://publicdomainreview.org/…/the-redemption-of-saint-a…/

·Gustave Flaubert was born in Rouen, France onthis day in 1821.
"A mad idea seized her: he was gazing at her now! She was sure of it! She long to rush into his arms and seek refuge in his strength as in the very incarnation of love; she longed to cry: 'Ravish me! Carry me off! Away from here! All my passion and all my dreams are yours — yours alone!' The curtain fell."
--from MADAME BOVARY (1857)
Emma, a passionate dreamer raised in the French countryside, is ready for her life to take off when she marries the decent, dull Dr. Charles Bovary. Marriage, however, fails to live up to her expectations, which are fueled by sentimental novels, and she turns disastrously to love affairs. The story of Emma’s adultery scandalized France when MADAME BOVARY was first published. Today, the heartbreaking story of Emma’s financial ruin remains just as compelling. In MADAME BOVARY, his story of a shallow, deluded, unfaithful, but consistently compelling woman living in the provinces of nineteenth-century France, Gustave Flaubert invented not only the modern novel but also a modern attitude toward human character and human experience that remains with us to this day. One of the rare works of art that it would be fair to call perfect, MADAME BOVARY has had an incalculable influence on the literary culture that followed it. This translation, by Francis Steegmuller, is acknowledged by common consensus as the definitive English rendition of Flaubert’s text.
