Description

Frédéric Moreau arrives in Paris with big hopes and one impossible love: the married Madame Arnoux, who stays just out of reach while ambition, friends, and other affairs pull him sideways. Around him France slides toward the upheaval of 1848; inside him youthful dreams meet the dull grind of compromise. Flaubert’s great novel of desire and disillusion, spoken as a young man’s education in how little the heart and the age ever quite deliver.
