Entre Mme Arnoux qui passe dans la vie les yeux baissés, fidèle à son honneur, et Rosanette, la fille de joie, Frédéric hésite. Flaubert dissèque une société qui s’enivre de vertu tout en se goinfrant de plaisirs faciles.
Nous sommes à la veille de la Révolution de 48. Jamais l’on n’a plus débattu de la démocratie, de la République et de la propriété. Ses amis s’engagent, militent, Frédéric, lui, pense à sa carrière et calcule. La bêtise règne sur les salons bourgeois, dans les réunions politiques, les salles de rédaction et les ateliers. L’éducation sentimentale est le roman de la parole qui ne mène qu’au rêve en amour, en politique comme au travail. De ce chef-d’oeuvre noir où Flaubert a mis tant de lui-même, tout le roman contemporain est sorti.
Sobre el autor
Gustave Flaubert (December 12, 1821 – May 8, 1880) is counted among the greatest Western novelists. He was born in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, in the Haute-Normandie Region of France.
Flaubert’s curious modes of composition favored and were emphasized by these peculiarities. He worked in sullen solitude, sometimes occupying a week in the completion of one page, never satisfied with what he had composed, violently tormenting his brain for the best turn of a phrase, the most absolutely final adjective. It cannot be said that his incessant labors were not rewarded. His private letters show that he was not one of those to whom easy and correct language is naturally given; he gained his extraordinary perfection with the unceasing sweat of his brow. One of the most severe of academic critics admits that in all his works, and in every page of his works, Flaubert may be considered a model of style.
