Description
In this, the first biography of Flaubert to be written for many years, Geoffrey Wall brilliantly recreates the life and times of a writer of immeasurable talent and influence - a writer who wrote to within an inch of his life and in the process left a body of work that stands comparison with the greatest writers of the age.
Reviews
'Extraordinarily accomplished... one of the best biographies of this or any other year.' Sunday Telegraph; 'The clearest, most satisfyingly biographical account of Flaubert to date.' Independent
