«Bouvard y Pécuchet» is the satirical novel by Gustave Flaubert, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
Two clerks brought together by chance discover they share their bewilderment at the world; an inheritance allows them to retire to the countryside and try disciplines such as agriculture, chemistry, medicine, history or literature. Each attempt reveals contradictions and failures to them, and enthusiasm turns into skepticism. A satire of human folly.
Bouvard y Pécuchet is a posthumous work originally published in 1881. This edition is number 115 of the Fábula collection and includes the translation by Aurora Bernárdez.
For an audience interested in classic fiction and nineteenth-century French literature.
