«Bouvard y Pécuchet» is Gustave Flaubert's satirical novel, published by Debolsillo in paperback (736 pages, in Spanish).
Two Parisian copyists, Bouvard and Pécuchet, inherit a fortune and retire to the countryside to try successively agriculture, medicine, archaeology and other disciplines. Each attempt to apply books to reality ends in comic failure, in a satire on the vanity of encyclopedic knowledge and the intellectual pretensions of the bourgeoisie.
Bouvard y Pécuchet was published posthumously in 1881; this edition belongs to Debolsillo's Clásica collection.
For readers of nineteenth-century French classics and satirical humour about the thirst for knowledge.
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.
