About the author

Gustave Flaubert

1821–1880

Best known for Madame Bovary, he helped define literary realism with fiction that is sharp, unsentimental, and deeply attentive to everyday life. His work is still admired for its precision, emotional force, and refusal to look away from uncomfortable truths.
