... change that name. Was it his mommy, do you think? James! Think of the family. You can't deny your heritage!
Finished Salambo . Funny old Flaubert. Wrote that book like painters used to paint the Magdalene. Under the guise of art, they got a little, um, of the good stuff in.

... the contemporary. Did someone say here she ought to stick with scifi? They're right.
Right now I read Flaubert's Salambo .
... with heart of gold -- but since it's Flaubert writing it, it's well-written. It transcends its cliched premise. I've read Salammbo and Temptation of St Antony, so this short work was a revelation of Early Flaubert.
... necessarily tough, but a wholly different mode of writing, since both are elaborate, visually stunning symbolist romps.
Salammbo was another tough read. It's worth a reread, since I read it when I was younger -- I'd seen Citizen Kane and there's an operatic adaptation of the book in it. I ...
... thought he was a snob because of his last name. Marx also tears into him with a snobby arrogance. It's wonderful!
Salammbo by Flaubert I'm sure people have heard of Flaubert. This and The Temptation of St. Anthony are wonderful reads.

It's easy to be Flaubert's fan because he wrote so little. I've read Madame Bovary (twice), Salammbo , Sentimental Education, Three Tales, even Bouvard and Pecuchet.
For me the masterpiece is Sentimental Education with its moods, its revolutionary atmosphere, its Paris and ...
I would add to this list Gustave Falubert's Salammbo . Unlike Mme Bovary, it is no ride in the park (But then what goes on inside is much more explicit). Julien Gracq likens the reading of it to a strenuous weight-lifting session. Like Gracq, Flaubert is not sparing with adjectives and makes ...
