«Viaje a Oriente» is Gustave Flaubert's travel account, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (576 pages, in Spanish).
Flaubert, of sedentary life, conceived each journey as an unrepeatable experience and left written record of it. The volume gathers his notes from twenty months of travel through the East, between October 1849 and June 1851, with observations on the cultures and landscapes he encountered.
The book belongs to Cátedra's Letras Universales collection (no. 176). The original French title is Voyage en Orient (1849-1851). The edition recovers passages suppressed by the censor.
For readers of travel literature and Flaubert's work, with an interest in nineteenth-century exploration narratives.
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.
