Description
Three Tales offers an excellent introduction to the work of Gustave Flaubert, one of the world's greatest novelists. This collection of three tales invites comparison with his novels, while also revealing a fresh and distinctive side to his writing.
A Simple Heart is set in Normandy, where Flaubert drew inspiration from his childhood, while Saint Julian and Herodias draw on medieval myth and biblical stories for their inspiration. Each tale offers a unique perspective on the writer's genius.
