«Bouvard et Pécuchet» is Gustave Flaubert's satirical novel, published by Maxi-Poche in paperback format (285 pages, in French).
After meeting, Bouvard and Pécuchet, two retired copyists, settle in the countryside to explore every field of knowledge: agriculture, chemistry, history, literature or politics. Each attempt ends in failure, but it does not curb their enthusiasm; Flaubert turns their journey into a satire on the vanity of knowledge and human stupidity.
Posthumous and unfinished novel, published in 1881. It belongs to the Classiques Français collection from Maxi-Poche.
For readers of nineteenth-century French classics and erudite satire who appreciate humour.
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.
