This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
A Simple Soul by Gustave Flaubert is a tender and introspective novella that quietly illuminates the life of an unassuming servant named Félicité. Set in 19th-century provincial France, the story follows her journey of selfless devotion and quiet suffering as she navigates loss, love, and spiritual longing in the shadows of a world that barely notices her.
Flaubert, known for his precision and psychological insight, paints a portrait of everyday nobility through Félicité's faithfulness - to her mistress, to the children she raises, and ultimately to a parrot who becomes her final source of comfort and transcendence. Through simple prose and subtle symbolism, the narrative explores themes of loneliness, endurance, and the sacred beauty hidden within ordinary lives.
A Simple Soul is a deeply human story - a meditation on humility, grace, and the invisible strength found in a life lived for others. This audiobook edition brings Flaubert's quiet masterpiece to life with the dignity and emotion it so richly deserves.
