Gustave Flaubert

In "Flaubert: A Life," Geoffrey Wall dramatizes the life and times of Gustave Flaubert, who was one of the most enigmatic writers in literary history. Flaubert seems larger than life--too full of troubles, illnesses, personal traumas, and financial fiascos. In this biography, Wall ties together all the threads of Flaubert's life into a not-so-tidy tapestry, filled with contradictions and mysteries. Read on:
