Autorenporträt
Gustave Flaubert, a towering figure in the history of French literature, was born on December 12, 1821, in Rouen, Normandy. He is often considered a leading exponent of literary realism in his country. Flaubert's remarkable precision of style and his vivid, meticulous prose have earned him a celebrated position among 19th-century writers. His best-known work, 'Madame Bovary' (1857), is a seminal text in realism, depicting the tragic consequences of the provincial life of Emma Bovary and her unattainable dreams. This novel, which led to an obscenity trial at the time, was recognized posthumously for its critical reflection on society and the depth of its character study. Beyond this magnum opus, Flaubert's 'Salammbo' (1862) and 'Sentimental Education' (1869) further exemplify his craft and thematic concerns, exploring historical settings and the tumults of personal passions against societal expectations. Moreover, 'The Correspondence of George Sand and Gustave Flaubert' provides invaluable insights into his thoughts and relationships in the literary world. Through his extensive letters with Sand, a literary peer, Flaubert reveals much about his literary convictions and the intellectual climate of his era. Flaubert's influence extends beyond literature; it penetrates the realms of art and philosophy, affecting writers and thinkers who grapple with the representation of reality. He passed away on May 8, 1880, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate throughout literature.
