E-grāmata: Three stories

These are three stories, by one of the most famous nineteenth-century writers in France, Gustave Flaubert. It appeared in one book in 1877 and was the last thing the author published during his lifetime. He had reached the age of fifty-five at that time, his art had been perfected, and his fame had spread, after the publication of the story "Madame Bovary," the story "Salambo," and his two books, "Sentimental Education" and "The Experience of Saint Anthony." ". Flaubert remained divided between romanticism and realism, and he seemed to contradict himself, until his book "Three Stories" appeared, and it came as proof that the writer does not adhere to a fixed direction, but rather writes what he likes to write, he writes for art, whether the art is in narrating reality or in Photographing the imagination, whether its images are taken from the surrounding environment, or extracted from the corners of history. Therefore, Flaubert writes his three stories in which he combines pictorial romanticism in the legend of Saint Julian and the story of Herodias, with pure realism in "A Simple Heart," and he does not contradict himself in combining these two trends.
