SECONDHAND BOOKS | BIOGRAPHY

Gustave Flaubert, whose Madame Bovary outraged France's right-thinking bourgeoisie when it was first published in 1857. A sedentary man by nature, Flaubert undertook epic voyages through Egypt and the Middle East. This book presents a portrayal of an artist fraught with contradictions - his wit and bravado coexisting with great vulnerability.
