Description
Frederic Moreau's life is marked by a series of unfulfilled desires and missed opportunities. His first glimpse of Madame Arnoux sets him on a path of pursuit, but he struggles to translate his passion into decisive action. As the years leading up to the revolution of 1848 unfold, Moreau finds himself drawn to three other women, each with her own unique appeal.
Flaubert's novel offers a vivid and unsparing portrait of the young men of his generation, struggling to salvage something of their ideals in a city where corruption and consumerism undermine all but the most compromised pursuits. With its thoroughgoing irony and impartial yet intense sympathy, Sentimental Education is a novel that competes with the realism of Balzac and marks a turning-point in the development of literary modernism.
