«Trois contes» is the book of three tales by Gustave Flaubert, published by Hachette in paperback (240 pages, in French).
Three tales that synthesize Flaubert's work: the maid Félicité, in 19th-century France, adores her parrot as the Holy Spirit; Julien, destined to kill his parents, seeks holiness in the Middle Ages; and Herodias plots the execution of John the Baptist. It was his last published work: realism, legend and historical evocation.
It belongs to the Bibliolycée collection from Hachette Education, with complete annotated text, reading questions and analysis activities. This edition is from 2003; the work dates from 1877.
Recommended for secondary and high school students of French literature, and for those who want to read Flaubert in his original language.
Gustave Flaubert was a French novelist. He has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country and abroad. He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.
