Title : Sentimental Education - Gustave Flaubert - book

• Summary

A young eighteen-year-old provincial, full of dreams and rather attractive, comes to study in Paris. From 1840 to the evening of the coup d'état of 1851, he learns about the world in a society in full upheaval. Along the way, he encounters true love and the contingencies of pleasure, the Revolution and its false apostles, art, the power of money and stupidity, the reversibility of beliefs, fraternal friendship and the inevitability of betrayals, without managing to commit himself to any cause other than that of following the loss of his illusions.
Written in dazzling language and according to unprecedented narrative rules, L'Education sentimentale , published in 1869, is perhaps Flaubert's most accomplished and mysterious masterpiece. In seeking to represent the very essence of lived time, the author conveys to us a philosophy of history, a morality of existence and an aesthetic of memory that remain surprisingly relevant for elucidating the enigmas of today.
