Flaubert's Literary Letters
by I
About This Novel
This book collects letters written by Flaubert to his lovers, friends, senior writers and disciples between 1847 and 1880. It is divided into four series: love and sex, personalization and impersonality, art first, and inner mission. The content covers many aspects such as literary creation, love, friendship, travel, artistic concepts, trends of the times, religious beliefs, etc. In Proust's words, Flaubert's letters not only reflect the author's literary and artistic concepts, but are also filled with friendship and family affection. They are an important reference for studying Flaubert. Flaubert argued that novelists should not reveal themselves in their works, just as God should not reveal himself in nature. Therefore, his letters become the key to reveal the author Flaubert hidden behind the characters in his works, and are an indispensable supplement for readers to understand Flaubert's era and works.
