Flaubert takes us back in time with this biblical tale about the beheading of John the Baptist and the circumstances that led to it. It introduces us to Herod I, the King of Judea, Salome who acts under her mother's behest, and John who loses his life for his principles. The tale deals with human emotions and also offers commentary on the moral, social and political scenarios of that age.

Biographie de l'auteur

Flaubert is best remembered as the author of Madame Bovary, which caused both him and his publisher to be charged with immorality by the French government when it was first published. He achieved perfection in his work because of his relentless pursuit of the precise word or turn of phrase he needed. It is said that he would sometimes spend a week on a single page, and his writing is thought to be more exact and precise than that of any other French author.
