Author: Gustave Flaubert
Title: Sentimental Education
Description: Wordsworth Editions Ltd 2001 Paperback, 480pp. Based on Flauberts own youthful passion for an older woman, 'Sentimental Education' was described by its author as the moral history of the men of my generation. It follows the amorous adventures of Frederic Moreau, a law student who, returning home to Normandy from Paris, notices Mme Arnoux, a slender, dark woman several years older than himself. It is the beginning of an infatuation that will last a lifetime. He befriends her husband, an influential businessman, and as their paths cross and re-cross over the years, Mme Arnoux remains the constant, unattainable love of Moreaus life. Blending love story, historical authenticity, and satire, 'Sentimental Education' is one of the great French novels of the nineteenth century. (ISBN: 9781840221213). Near Mint.
