Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

First published in 1877, these three stories are dominated by questions of doubt, love, loneliness and religious experience, and together form a triumphant conclusion to Flaubert's literary career. With elegant simplicity, 'A Simple Heart' relates the story of F�licit� - an uneducated serving-woman who retains her Catholic faith despite a life of desolation and loss. Inspired by a stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral, 'The Legend of Saint Julian Hospitator' describes the fate of Julian, a sadistic hunter destined to murder his own parents. The blend of faith and cruelty that dominates this story may also be found in 'Herodias' - a reworking of the tale of Salom� and John the Baptist.

Revue de presse :

'These stories, mini masterpieces of realism and contemplation, examine the arc of humanity in its many forms, revealing through diverse tales of three separate people, the poignant place of dignity, spiritual triumph and the fulfilment of destiny beyond any individual control. These are stories to feed the soul and exercise our moral fibres. Perfect.' --Parent Talk
