About This Novel
This book selects the private letters written by Flaubert to his lover Louise Collet. These letters record their eight-year affectionate correspondence. They are not only the most touching love letters in the 19th century, but also present Flaubert's struggle and confession in love, loneliness, art and self-doubt. "She both wanted to die and wanted to go to Paris" was Flaubert's creation of Madame Bovary, inspired by Louise Collet. Emma's original words are also the most touching footnote of this book - dedicated to everyone who longs to escape but is trapped by life. This is not a fictional novel, but an archive of real emotions; it is not only love literature, but also a documentary of how a writer refines love into language.
