Information
Description: <p>No less precious than Flaubert's great novels is his Correspondence, published in four volumes between 1887 and 1893, greatly expanded in successive editions.</p> <p>From his childhood he teaches us the formation of the man and the writer, the genesis of his works and his ideas about art. The external vicissitudes are scarce - his trip to the Orient (1849-51) is highlighted in memorable pages -; the judgment on political and literary current affairs is sharp and scornful; the part granted to love is poor, despite his long relationship with Louise Colet, destined to end in an unhappy way because of the jealous incomprehension of his literary friend. And the writer's only passion, that of Mrs. Schlésinger, is barely mentioned.</p> <p>Thus, Correspondence, and in this case that of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, better known by her pseudonym <strong>George Sand</strong>, overflows with the other love, that of art; and for the literati these volumes are a veritable breviary.</p>
