«La Tentation de Saint Antoine» is a volume by Flaubert with «Trois contes», in paperback from Bookking International (313 pages, French).
Flaubert recreates the night of temptations of Saint Anthony, a fourth-century Egyptian anchorite, through visions in which heresies, gods and legendary creatures parade. The work, which partakes of narrative, theater and philosophical essay, contrasts the thirst for knowledge with contemplative faith and culminates in the vision of Christ in the sun.
Written by Flaubert in 1874, this 1997 edition belongs to the Classiques Français collection.
For readers with a command of French interested in nineteenth-century classics with a philosophical and religious background.
