Three Short Works


Read by David Barnes

(4.6 stars; 33 reviews)

Here is a collection of strikingly different pieces by Flaubert: a prose poem in the voices of Death, Satan and Nero; the trials and apotheosis of a medieval saint; and the life of a selfless maid in 19th century France. Each exhibits the vigorous exactness, and the mixture of realism and romanticism, for which Flaubert is renowned. (3 hr 5 min)

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

The reader is just wonderful, and the stories get progressively better as you reread them. The last sentence of the last story made me tremble.

Yay, some one who can read!
