Flaubert in Egypt: A Sensibility on Tour A Narrative Drawn from Gustave Flaubert's Travel Notes & Letters

Francis Steegmuller; Gustave Flaubert

ISBN: 9780140435825
Publisher: Penguin Group USA
Publication Date: 1996
Binding: Softcover

At once a classic of travel literature and a penetrating portrait of a sensibility on tour, Flaubert in Egypt wonderfully captures the young writer's impressions during his 1849 voyage to the "Orient". Using diaries, letters, travel notes, and the evidence of Flaubert's traveling companion Maxime Du Camp, Francis Steegmuller reconstructs this formative journey - through the bazaars and brothels of Cairo, down the length of the Nile, to the fabled Red Sea.

Pre-revolutionary Paris comes to life in this fascinating story surrounding the correspondence between two colorful and witty society figures: the French author Louise d'Apinay and the Italian priest-diplomat Ferdinando Galiani. Their friends included Voltaire, Diderot, Melchior Grimm, and the famous women of the salons, and their letters touched upon everything from social gossip to issues of education and politics.

Madame Bovary

Francis Steegmuller; Gustave Flaubert

ISBN: 9780679600138
Publisher: Modern Library
Publication Date: 1992
Binding: Hardcover

Madame Bovary is perhaps the first "modern" novel. It has always been the most popular of Flauberts books, and the character of Emma Bovary, a beautiful young woman longing to escape from her dull husband and the constrictions of bourgeois life, is one of the most compelling figures in all literature. The story of her adulteries and financial ruin was so shocking to mid-nineteenth-century readers that the author was charged with "offenses against public morals and religion." Flaubert's style, with its elegant, sculpted sentences and passionately observed detail, is rendered here in the classic translation by Francis Steegmuller, who has written widely on Flaubert and is the editor and translator of his letters.
