pubOne.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. Domi mansit, lanam fecit: He remained at home and wrote, is the first thing that should be said of Gustave Flaubert. This trait, which he shares with many of the writers of his generation, - Renan, Taine, Leconte de Lisle and Dumas fils, - distinguishes them and distinguishes him from those of the preceding generation, who voluntarily sought inspiration in disorder and agitation, - Balzac and George Sand, for instance (to speak only of romance writers), and the elder Dumas or Eugene Sue. Flaubert, indeed, had no outward life; he lived only for his art.
