The story begins and ends with Charles Bovary, a stolid, kindhearted man without much ability or ambition.Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was an influential French writer who was perhaps the leading exponent of literary realism of his country.

This carefully crafted ebook: "Salammbo (Historical Novel)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.Salammbo is a historical novel about a priestess and the daughter of Hamilcar Barca, an aristocratic Carthaginian general. Salammbo is the object of the obsessive lust of Matho, a leader of the mercenaries. With the help of the scheming freed slave, Spendius, Matho steals the sacred veil of Carthage, the Zaimph, prompting Salammbo to enter the mercenaries camp in an attempt to steal it back. The Zaimph is an ornate bejewelled veil draped about the statue of the goddess Tanit in the sanctum sanctorum of her temple: the veil is the citys guardian and touching it will bring death to the perpetrator. The novel is set in Carthage during the 3rd century BC, immediately before and during the Mercenary Revolt which took place shortly after the First Punic War. Flauberts main source was Book I of Polybiuss Histories. It required a great deal of work from the author, who enthusiastically left behind the realism of his masterpiece Madame Bovary for this tale of blood and thunder. The book, which Flaubert researched painstakingly, is largely an exercise in sensuous and violent exoticism. It was another best-seller and sealed his reputation. The Carthaginian costumes described in it even left traces on the fashions of the time. Nevertheless, in spite of its classic status in France, it is not widely known today among English speakers.Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was an influential French writer who was perhaps the leading exponent of literary realism of his country.

Publicados en un solo volumen en 1877, GUSTAVE FLAUBERT (1821-1880) inició la redacción de estos TRES CUENTOS en 1875, sumido en un intenso desaliento causado por circunstancias históricas y personales, y en medio de serias dudas acerca de su capacidad literaria. Aparentemente muy dispares entre si tanto por su ambientacion como por sus personajes -Un corazon simple se ancla en el realismo del xix, La leyenda de san Julian el Hospitalario bebe en la hagiografia y el mundo medieval, y Herodias recupera con fastuosidad el mundo antiguo-, estos tres relatos tienen en comun, como apunta en su introduccion Mauro Armiño, traductor y anotador de la obra, la simbiosis de religion y violencia, de leyenda maravillosa y de cruda realidad.

Flaubert's portrait of an adulteress who seeks freedom from a prosaic, disappointing life and ultimately is destroyed by her selfishness was considered scandalous when it was published. Flaubert chose his subject to illustrate his belief that any aspect of life, however trivial or vulgar, could be a subject for literature, and could be raised to the status of art by the quality of the writing.
