Value for money collection of five Flaubert novels
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
"The Library of Essential Writers" series of books are affordable and beautiful editions, not to mention sturdy [they are all in hardcover] and number about 31 works in all. In this collection of Gustave Flaubert's 5 novels, the works are "Madame Bovary", "Salammbo", "Sentimental Education", "The Temptation of St Anthony",and "Bouvard and Pecuchet".The novels are all complete and unabridged and there is also a brief introduction by Brian Stableford. My main grouse with this compilation is the omission of the translator's name for each novel which is crucial for the purpose of comparing and contrasting as well as critical analysis.
Gustav Flaubert Unabridged Five Novels
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A treasure of the finest literature for a pittance. Flaubert's writing is superb. It is rarely equaled by other writers and never surpassed. Reading the English translastion makes one wish that they had learned French. Barnes and Noble must be applauded for issueing this edition at such a low price.
