The Foreigner de Francis Steegmuller
It was ok, for what it was, but not much to it.
A gem of a book not well known but a good read and fascinating for what it reveals of the intellectual ferment in the crucial years of the Enlightenment.
Excellent work with much first hand information on Apollinaire gathered while friends and associates were still alive.
Caveat: this is not the book 'Madame Bovary.' It is biography of Flaubert focused on explaining how he came to write Madame Bovary.
This book gives you the best of both worlds: Steegmuller did a lot of research, and has interesting things to say about the origins of 'Madame Bovary,' both the book and the woman; on the other hand, it reads like a nicely written novel, except that at the end, instead of 'dear reader, i married him,' you get 'dear reader, he published it.' My only complaint is that it doesn't engage in much discussion of the Madame Bovary the book's actual contents and structure, although he quotes Baudelaire's review, which says something like that you could write about Madame Bovary for ever. I'd love to read Steegmuller's analysis of Bovary, or of the novels that followed it for that matter.… (més)
