Gustave Flaubert, página 6 de 33

Translator: Jalmari Hahl

Flaubert escribió en Noviembre en 1842, cuando tenía apenas veinte años. Considerada la novela que cierra la producción de juventud de Flaubert (marcada por esta obra y por Memorias de un loco), estamos ante una autentica bildungsroman sentimental, una sorprendente novela de iniciacion amorosa, que explora los sutiles mecanismos de la atraccion erotica y los remordimientos provocados por las relaciones adulteras y el lado pasional de las relaciones humanas. En esta novela, de lectura adictiva, y un delicioso recorrido sobre la exaltacion pasional, un muchacho, en el que podemos ver reflejado el propio Flaubert, medita en el curso de un paseo campestre sobre las mujeres (incluyendo a Marie, la prostituta que lo inicio en los secretos de la carne, y que es, a partes iguales, la mujer angelica e intocable, y la hembra fatal armada de un erotismo destructor en palabra de Lluis Mª Todo). Noviembre es, probablemente, la genuina cronica de una obsesion amorosa, con un joven Flaubert de protagonista. Esta novela, que Flaubert no publico en vida (era un escritor enfermo de exactitud, y buena parte de su produccion hasta Madame Bovary era considerada por el como ejercicios de estilo), pero que siempre considero con un cariño especial, es una habil diseccion del mundo amoroso, en la que se analiza la pasion y el sufrimiento asociado a ella, cuya profundidad psicologica presagia ya el estilo de obras futuras como Madame Bovary o La educacion sentimental.

Nowhere do Flauberts explorations of the relation of signs to the objects they signify reach a more thorough study than in this work. Bouvard and Pécuchet systematically confuse signs and symbols with reality, an assumption that causes them much suffering, as it does for Emma Bovary and Frederic Moreau. Yet here, due to the explicit focus on books and knowledge, Flauberts ideas reach a climax. Consequently, the book is widely read as a precursor to modern theories on semiotics and postmodernism. The relentless failure of Bouvard and Pecuchet to learn anything from their adventures raises the question of what is knowable. Whenever they achieve some small measure of success (a rare occurrence), it is the result of unknown external forces beyond their comprehension. In this sense, they strongly resemble Antony in The Temptation of St. Anthony, a work which addresses similar epistemological themes as they relate to classical literature. Lionel Trilling wrote that the novel expresses a belief in the alienation of human thought from human experience. The worldview that emerges from the work, one of human beings proceeding relentlessly forward without comprehending the results of their actions or the processes of the world around them, does not seem an optimistic one. But given that Bouvard and Pecuchet do gain some comprehension of humanitys ignorant state (as demonstrated by their composition of the Dictionary of Received Ideas), it could be argued that Flaubert allows for the possibility of relative enlightenment.

An historical novel that interweaves historical and fictional characters. The action takes place immediately before and during the Mercenary Revolt against Carthage in the third century BC. This book, which Flaubert researched painstakingly, is largely an exercise in sensuous and violent exoticism. The Carthaginian costumes described therein even left traces on the fashions of the time. Nevertheless, in spite of its classic status in France, it is practically unknown today among English-speakers.

Mientras vivió, Gustave Flaubert fue un escritor presente en el huracán de las pasiones públicas; desacreditado por los críticos de la época y por los tribunales judiciales, tuvo en cambio el beneplácito de sus lectores. Despues de la publicacion de su obra mas memorable, Madame Bovary (1857), emprendio una obra historica, Salambo (1862), que narra la destruccion de la mitica y palaciega Cartago, exhaustiva en sus fuentes, Polibio, Herodoto, San Agustin, Michelet, esta novela ubicada en el marco de las Primeras Guerras Punicas, muestra a un escritor prodigioso tanto en la creacion de escenarios monumentales como intimos sin incurrir, para fortuna de la trama, en exotismo gratuitos.Con la aparicion de Salambo, Flaubert ratifico el magisterio de su primer libro; tanto en uno como en otro, la literatura francesa del siglo XIX se beneficio de una narrativa, exenta de concesiones, donde la condicion humana se exhibe desde una optica de exploracion extrema, al margen de todo tipo de convencionalismos. Despues publicara dos obras maestras mas, La educacion sentimental (1896) y Bouvard y Pecuchet (1881).

"Nació en la localidad francesa de Rouen en 1821. Hijo de un medico, inicia la carrera de Derecho pero no tarda en dejar los estudios por problemas de salud. Esta circunstancia le anima a dedicar el resto de sus dias a la literatura. En 1857 sale a la luz Madame Bovary, su primera gran novela y para muchos su obra maestra. Acusado, junto con su editor, de publicar contenidos inmorales pasa por los tribunales que finalmente los absuelve. Entre otras obras tambien escribio La tentacion de San Antonio (1874) y Salambo (1863). Murio en 1880. Madame Bovary no es mas que una tipologia, el prototipo de una mujer de provincias que se casa con un medico, y que, desde muy joven, se ve atravesada con una cotidianidad mezquina y rustica. Emma Rouault es un personaje utilizado por Flaubert para cuestionar y poner en evidencia las costumbres y la moral burguesa.En La tentacion de San Antonio, una antigua pieza de titeres, un cuadro de Peter Breughel , Cain de Byron y el Fausto de Goethe fueron su inspiracion."

The Temptation of Saint Anthony is a dramatic poem in prose (often referred as a novel) by the French author Gustave Flaubert published in 1874. Flaubert spent his whole adult life working fitfully on the book.The Temptation of Saint Anthony is considered one of Flauberts most significant works and is notable for its poetic language, vivid imagery, and imaginative storytelling. The book has been adapted into various forms of art, including opera and ballet, and has influenced many other writers and artists throughout history.Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was a French novelist widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 19th century. He was born in Rouen, France, and studied law in Paris, but later abandoned his legal career to pursue writing.Flaubert is best known for his novel Madame Bovary, which was first published in 1856 and caused a scandal due to its portrayal of a womans adulterous affairs and the subsequent criticism of bourgeois society. The novel is considered a masterpiece of literary realism, and Flauberts attention to detail and psychological depth of character are often cited as its defining features.Flaubert was also known for his extensive revisions and meticulous attention to detail, famously saying, "One cannot be too careful in the choice of ones words." He spent years working on each of his novels, and his dedication to his craft has earned him a place among the greatest writers of all time.

Vi sutto i klassrummet, d rektorn intradde, tfoljd av en kalkborgerligt kladd nykomling och en skolvaktmastare, som bar en stor pulpet. De som sovo vaknade, och allesamman reste vi oss upp och ltsade som om vi blivit overraskade mitt under arbetet.Rektorn vinkade t oss att sitta ned, darp vande han sig till klasslararen och sade halvhogt: Herr Roger, har ar en larjunge som jag anfortror t er. Han skall in i femte klassen. Om han ar flitig och uppfor sig val, fr han komma in bland de stora, dit han egentligen hor genom sin lder.Nykomlingen stod kvar i en vr bakom dorren, s att han knappt syntes. Det var en bondpojke om femton r och langre till vaxten an ngon bland oss; hret sg ut att vara klippt efter skopa. Han forefoll mycket stillsam och beskedlig och i hogsta grad tafatt. Ehuru han ej var axelbred, tycktes hans grona jacka tranga honom i armvecken. Hans gulaktiga byxor voro for hogt upphangslade, s att benen, som voro bekladda med bla strumpor, stucko fram ett gott stycke. P fotterna hade han klumpiga och illa borstade skor med klackjarn.
