Flaubert: A Biography by Lottman, Herbert R. Fromm International, 1990
Lottman's considerable reputation as a chronicler of French literary and intellectual lifehe has published an admired study of Camus and a book about Parisian intellectuals in the 1930s and '40s ( The Left Bank )will be further enhanced by this superb biography. Working with materials only recently made available, including the novelist's uncensored letters, Lottman painstakingly reconstructs Flaubert's strange and meticulous life in vivid detail. He demolishes several well-established myths, including those that the writer's celebrated slowness was linked to epilepsy, or alternatively to medications taken to control it. He was in fact a prolific writer, who was so self-critical that everything he produced had to be pondered and rewritten a dozen times. Flaubert emerges as one of the most remarkably dedicated writers ever, a man seemingly content with a life of solitude far from the mainstream of Parisian life, but with an extraordinary gift for friendshipexcept with women, who were lovers only. Lottman's biography is more than just a study of a man's life; as any good biography should, it evokes, with unfailing skill and with wit, an entire era. Illustrated.

From the highly acclaimed author of Zola: A Life comes the definitive biography of Gustave Flaubert, author of Madame Bovary.Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880), whose Madame Bovary outraged the right-thinking bourgeoisie, is now brought to life as the singular person and artist he was. As Frederick Brown reveals, Flaubert was fraught with contradiction--a sedentary man who took epic voyages through Egypt and the Middle East; a man of genius who could be flamboyantly uncouth, but was fanatically devoted to beautifully cadenced prose. While making much of his camaraderie with male friends, Flaubert depended upon the emotional nurture of maternal women, notably George Sand, with whom he engaged in a justly celebrated correspondence. His assorted mistresses--French, Egyptian, and English--fed both his richly erotic imagination and his fictional characters, and his letters provide a record of them.Flaubert's time and place literally put him on trial for portraying lewd behavior in Madame Bovary. His milieu also made him a celebrity and, indirectly, brought about his financial ruin. Flaubert died suddenly at the age of fifty-nine, and soon afterward, his beloved retreat near Rouen was torn down and converted into a distillery to cover his niece's debts. He privately dreamed of popular success, which he in fact achieved with Madame Bovary, but never sacrificed to it his ideal of artistic integrity. Frederick Brown's magisterial biography honors his subject's life, times, and legacy.
