Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A book that deeply influenced the young Freud and was the inspiration for many artists, The Temptation of Saint Anthony was Flaubert’s lifelong work, thirty years in the making. Based on the story of the third-century saint who lived on an isolated mountaintop in the Egyptian desert, it is a fantastical rendering of one night during which Anthony is besieged by carnal temptations and philosophical doubt.
This Modern Library Paperback Classic reproduces the distinguished Lafcadio Hearn translation, which translator Richard Sieburth calls “a splendid period piece from one of America’s premier translators of nineteenth-century French prose. In Lafcadio Hearn’s Latinate rendering, Flaubert’s experimental drama of the modern consciousness reads as weirdly as its oneiric original.”
Review:
"All in all, this is not everybody's book. But Flaubert himself judged it to be 'the work of all my life'...The book is important because here a man who wrote other much better books sets down the revelation of his tormented mind: lyrical, learned, sadistic, passionately searching for some transcendent enduring ecstasy, but ending in the ancient and unsurprising conclusion, 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity'...Not every reader will find [the author's] own prose style memorable, but she has done Flaubert proud."
Henry Chadwick, Times Literary Supplement, 1/30/1981
