- Information
Description
First published in 1877, these three stories are dominated by questions of doubt, love, loneliness and religious experience, and together form a triumphant conclusion to Flaubert's literary career. With elegant simplicity, 'A Simple Heart' relates the story of F licit - an uneducated serving-woman who retains her Catholic faith despite a life of desolation and loss.
Inspired by a stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral, 'The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator' describes the fate of Julian, a sadistic hunter destined to murder his own parents.
The blend of faith and cruelty that dominates this story may also be found in 'Herodias' - a reworking of the tale of Salom and John the Baptist.
