About this ebook
In diesem 1910 postum erschienenen Jugendroman Gustave Flauberts (1821-1880) erinnert sich der Ich-Erzähler nach einem langen Novemberspaziergang durch die Natur an die Zeit seiner Jugend, an die Enttäuschungen in seinem Leben, an die Desillusionierung seiner Ideale. Landschaft, Straßen, Interieurs und Menschen werden dabei zur Szenerie der Empfindungen.§In seinem einsam gewordenen Leben ist nur eines unverlierbar geblieben: die Poesie in der Beziehung zu dem Freudenmädchen Marie. Romantische Motive, eine beschwörende Rhetorik von großer Bildhaftigkeit und analytische Schärfe der Selbsterforschung geben dem Text ein unverwechselbares Gepräge. 'November' ist das schmerzhafte Bekenntnis eines Leidenden, eine anrührende Konfession, entstanden aus dem Ungenügen an der Welt.
About the author
Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was a towering figure in French literature, renowned for his meticulous prose and pioneering realism. Born in Rouen, France, Flaubert was the son of a distinguished surgeon, which exposed him to the stark realities of life and death from an early age. This early exposure profoundly influenced his literary vision, characterized by an unflinching examination of human nature.Flaubert's dedication to his craft was legendary; he often spent days perfecting a single sentence. His most famous work, "Madame Bovary," scandalized 19th-century France with its candid portrayal of adultery and the suffocating constraints of bourgeois life. The novel's publication led to a highly publicized obscenity trial in 1857, from which Flaubert was acquitted, solidifying his reputation as a fearless critic of societal norms.His influence on contemporary writers is immense. Flaubert's insistence on "le mot juste" (the precise word) inspired literary giants like James Joyce, Marcel Proust, and Virginia Woolf. His works laid the groundwork for modern narrative techniques, including the use of free indirect discourse, which allows readers to delve deeply into characters' inner lives.Flaubert was also a revolutionary thinker, challenging romantic idealism with his stark realism. He believed in the power of literature to reveal the truth about human existence, no matter how unpalatable. His correspondence with fellow writers like George Sand and his mentorship of younger authors underscore his pivotal role in the literary community.In an era of rapid social change, Flaubert's commitment to artistic integrity and his fearless critique of societal hypocrisy continue to resonate, making him a timeless figure whose work remains profoundly relevant.
