Book excerpt: "A Simple Soul" by Gustave Flaubert is a poignant and introspective novella that delves into the life and experiences of Félicité, a humble and devoted servant who leads a simple existence, yet possesses a profound depth of emotion and devotion. The story follows Félicité's journey from her early years as a servant in various households to her eventual position with Madame Aubain, a widow living in the small town of Pont-l'Évêque. Despite the challenges and hardships she faces, Félicité's unwavering dedication and genuine kindness earn her the affection of Madame Aubain and her family. Flaubert's narrative artfully unveils Félicité's inner world, revealing her deep emotional connections and the intensity of her feelings. Through her experiences, the novella explores themes of love, devotion, and the search for meaning in a seemingly ordinary life. Félicité's devotion is most evident in her relationship with a parrot named Loulou. After Loulou's death, Félicité's grief and longing lead her to seek solace in her religious beliefs, particularly her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Her profound spiritual experiences and connection to the divine provide her with a sense of purpose and fulfillment. As the years pass, Félicité's life becomes intertwined with that of Madame Aubain's daughter, Virginie. When Virginie falls seriously ill, Félicité dedicates herself to caring for her, showcasing her selflessness and compassion. Félicité's unwavering devotion to Virginie and her willingness to sacrifice her own well-being serve as a testament to the depth of her character. The novella's exploration of Félicité's emotional world is complemented by Flaubert's detailed and evocative descriptions of the natural surroundings and everyday life in Pont-l'Évêque. These descriptions contribute to the rich sensory experience of the narrative, allowing readers to immerse themselves in Félicité's world and connect with her on a deeper level. "A Simple Soul" offers a profound meditation on the complexities of the human heart and the beauty that can be found in even the most unassuming lives. Through Félicité's story, Flaubert prompts readers to reflect on the nature of love, devotion, and the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment in a world marked by both joys and sorrows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Simple Heart moved me to tears."—Russell Baker In A Simple Heart, the poignant story that inspired Julian Barnes' Flaubert’s Parrot, Félicité, a French housemaid, approaches a lifetime of servitude with human-scaled but angelic aplomb. No other author has imparted so much beauty and integrity to so modest an existence. Flaubert's "great saint" endures loss after loss by embracing the rich, true rhythms of life: the comfort of domesticity, the solace of the Church, and the depth of memory. This novella showcases Flaubert's perfectly honed realism: a delicate counterpoint of daily events with their psychological repercussions. "Flaubert is diagnosis," Ezra Pound wrote, "the whole of Flaubert, the whole fight for the novel as 'histoire morale contemporaine' was a fight against maxims, against abstractions, a fight back toward a human and/or total conception."

Download or read book Three Tales written by Gustave Flaubert and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed by Italo Calvino as "one of the most extraordinary spirtual journeys ever accomplished outside any religion," Three Tales (1877) was the last of Flaubert's works published during his lifetime. The ambitious range of the stories -- "A Simple Heart," "The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller," and "Herodias" -- reaches from the author's own century back to the Middle Ages and to ancient Israel. "A Simple Heart," in Flaubert's own words, "is just the account of an obscure life, that of Felicite a poor country girl, pious but mystical, quietly devoted, and as tender as fresh bread... I want to arouse people's pity, to make sensitive souls weep, since I am one myself." The middle story, "The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller," tells of a bloodthirsty hunter and warrior whose attempts to escape a dire prophecy ultimately lead to a state of grace. "Herodias," the final tale, is based on the legends surrounding King Herod, Salome, and John the Baptist. It served as the inspiration for later interpretations, including Oscar Wilde's Salome and Jules Massenet's opera Herodiade. "To any modern writer, in whatever language," remarked Anthony Burgess of Three Tales, "these are recommended as a fundamental textbook of style." Book jacket.
