Gustave Flaubert 
Madame Bovary A Tale of Provincial Life 

pub One.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. Domi mansit, lanam fecit: He remained at home and wrote, is the first thing that should be said of Gustave Flaubert. This trait, which he shares with many of the writers of his generation, – Renan, Taine, Leconte de Lisle and Dumas fils, – distinguishes them and distinguishes him from those of the preceding generation, who voluntarily sought inspiration in disorder and agitation, – Balzac and George Sand, for instance (to speak only of romance writers), and the elder Dumas or Eugene Sue. Flaubert, indeed, had no outward life; he lived only for his art.
