Bouvard and Pécuchet is a novel by the French writer Gustave Flaubert, published in 1881. The work tells the story of two Parisian copyists who, after inheriting a fortune, decide to dedicate themselves to the pursuit of knowledge in various disciplines, from agriculture to archeology, with often comical and disastrous results. Through their failures, Flaubert criticizes the superficiality of knowledge and the pretense of dominating reality through science and reason. This 1973 edition, published by Barral Editores, features the translation by Aurora Bernárdez and is part of the 'Ediciones de Bolsillo Literatura' collection.
