Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning Flaubert's life from adolescence to his years of fame as a writer, this collection of letters is a compelling portrait of the artist. Letters to Victor Hugo, Baudelaire, Turgenev, Zola, and Maupassant offer glimpses into 19th-century literary life; those to George Sand bring to light a deep, abiding friendship; and correspondence between Flaubert and his lover, Louise Colet, are highly charged with the emotions of an illicit relationship.
