Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Released in 1877, roughly 20 years after the hoopla created by the greatly challenged Madame Bovary, this volume includes "A Simple Heart," "The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator," and Herodias," along with an introduction, a chronology of Flaubert's life, and other extras.

Meet the Author

Gustave Flaubert (1821—1880), the younger son of a provincial doctor, briefly studied law before devoting himself to writing, with limited success during his lifetime. After the publication of Madame Bovary in 1857, he was prosecuted for offending public morals.
Geoffrey Wall is author of the critically acclaimed Flaubert: A Life and translated Madame Bovary for Penguin Classics. Roger Whitehouse has taught at the Sorbonne and at Bolton Institute, where he is a research fellow.
