Über dieses E-Book

"A Simple Heart" : "A Simple Heart" is Gustave Flaubert's first short story published in the book Three Tales, published in 1877.
The story of "A Simple Heart" is simply the story of an obscure life, that of a poor country girl, devout but mystical, devoted without exaltation and tender as fresh bread.
She loves successively a man, the children of her mistress, a nephew, an old man whom she cares for and then her parrot; when the parrot is dead, she has it stuffed and, dying in turn, she confuses the parrot with the Holy Spirit.
"This is by no means ironic as you suppose, but on the contrary, very serious and very sad. I want to pity and make sensitive souls cry, by being one myself." Gustave Flaubert.

Autoren-Profil

Gustave Flaubert is a French writer born in Rouen on December 12, 1821 and died in Croisset, a place in the district of Canteleu, on May 8, 1880. Considered, with Victor Hugo, Stendhal, Balzac and Zola, as one of the greatest French novelists of the nineteenth century, Flaubert is distinguished by his conception of the writer's craft and by the modernity of his novelistic poetics. A leading prose writer of the second half of the nineteenth century, Gustave Flaubert left his mark on universal literature through the depth of his psychological analyses, his concern for realism, his lucid view of the behavior of individuals and society and the strength of his style in great novels, such as Madame Bovary (1857), Salammbô (1862), L'Éducation sentimentale (1869) and the collection of short stories Trois Contes (1877).
