Three Tales

Three Tales offers an excellent introduction to the work of one of the world”s greatest novelists. A Simple Heart is set in the Normandy of Flaubert”s childhood, while Saint Julian and Herodias draw on medieval myth and the biblical story of John the Baptist for their inspiration. Each of the tales invites comparison with one or other of Flaubert”s novels, but they also reveal a fresh and distinctive side to the writers”s genius. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World”s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford”s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
