Gustave Flaubert

Descargar en EPUB, tambi n disponible para Kindle y en PDF "A Simple Heart", also called Un coeur simple or Le perroquet in French, is a story about a servant girl named Felicit . After her one and only love Th odore purportedly marries a well-to-do woman to avoid conscription, Felicit quits the farm she works on and heads for Pont-l' v que where she immediately picks up work in a widow's house as a servant. She is very loyal, and easily lends her affections to the two children of her mistress, Mme Aubain. She gives entirely to others, and although many take advantage of her she is unaffected. She is the epitome of a selfless character, and Flaubert shows how true altruism - the reality of being truly selfless - is the reward in itself. Whatever comes her way she is able to deal with it.

'For certain men the stronger their desire, the less likely they are to act.' With his first glimpse of Madame Arnoux, Frédéric Moreau is convinced he has found his romantic destiny, but when he pursues her to Paris the young student is unable to translate his passion into decisive action. He also finds himself distracted by the equally romantic appeal of political action in the turbulent years leading up to the revolution of 1848, and by the attractions of three other women, each of whom seeks to make him her own: a haughty society lady, a capricious courtesan, and an artless country girl. Flaubert offers a vivid and unsparing portrait of the young men of his generation, struggling to salvage something of their ideals in a city where corruption, consumerism, and a pervasive sense of disenchantment undermine all but the most compromised erotic, aesthetic, and social initiatives. Sentimental Education combines thoroughgoing irony with an impartial but unexpectedly intense sympathy in a novel whose realism competes with that of Balzac and whose innovations in narrative plot and perspective mark a turning-point in the development of literary modernism.

Le 15 septembre 1840, vers six heures du matin, la Ville-de-Montereau, pr s de partir, fumait gros tourbillons devant le quai Saint-Bernard. Des gens arrivaient hors d'haleine; des barriques, des c bles, des corbeilles de linge g naient la circulation; les matelots ne r pondaient personne; on se heurtait; les colis montaient entre les deux tambours, et le tapage s'absorbait dans le bruissement de la vapeur, qui, s' chappant par des plaques de t le, enveloppait tout d'une nu e blanch tre, tandis que la cloche, l'avant, tintait sans discontinuer.
