Autorenporträt

Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was a French novelist, regarded as one of the greatest Western writers and a leading exponent of literary realism in France.A hugely influential figure, he is best known for his debut novel 'Madame Bovary' (1857) which caused a nationwide scandal upon publication with its realistic portrayal of bourgeois life. The historical novel 'Salammbô' and the painting-inspired 'The Temptation of Saint Anthony' are some of his other well-known works. Many of Flaubert's stories have since been adapted for TV and film including 'Madame Bovary' (2000) starring Hugh Bonneville and Greg Wise.
