«L'Éducation sentimentale» is the realist novel by Gustave Flaubert, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (512 pages, in French).
The novel follows Frédéric Moreau, a young provincial who arrives in Paris to make his way. His idealized love for Madame Arnoux and his literary and social ambitions intersect with the France of 1848 and its revolution. Flaubert portrays youthful illusions, the passage of time, and the disillusionment of a generation settled into bourgeois mediocrity.
The novel was originally published in 1869. This edition from the Folio Classique collection includes a preface by Albert Thibaudet.
A reference work for readers of French classics and nineteenth-century literature.
