In parte storia d'amore, in parte romanzo storico, in parte satira e un racconto evocativo di passione giovanile, A Sentimental Education di Gustave Flaubert è tradotto da Robert Baldick e rivisto con un'introduzione di Geoffrey Wall in Penguin Classics. Frederic Moreau è uno studente di legge che torna a casa in Normandia da Parigi quando nota per la prima volta Mme Arnoux, una donna snella e scura di diversi anni più grande di lui. È l'inizio di un'infatuazione che durerà tutta la vita. Fa amicizia con il marito di lei, l'influente uomo d'affari Jacques Arnoux, e i loro percorsi si incrociano e si reincrociano nel corso degli anni. Attraverso sconvolgimenti finanziari, tumulti politici e innumerevoli relazioni, Mme Arnoux rimane l'amore costante e irraggiungibile della vita di Moreau. Flaubert descrisse la sua travolgente storia delle passioni, delle ambizioni e degli amori di un giovane come "la storia morale degli uomini della mia generazione". Basato sul suo amore non corrisposto per una donna più grande, L'educazione sentimentale è uno dei più grandi romanzi francesi del diciannovesimo secolo. La nuova revisione di Geoffrey Wall della traduzione originale di Robert Baldick è accompagnata da una nuova introduzione perspicace che discute le influenze personali e storiche sulla scrittura di Flaubert. Questa edizione contiene anche una nuova cronologia, ulteriori letture e note esplicative. Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) nacque a Rouen. Dopo che una malattia interruppe la sua carriera in legge, si ritirò per vivere con la madre vedova e si dedicò alla scrittura. Madame Bovary ottenne un plauso immediato dopo la pubblicazione del libro nel 1857, ma la schietta dimostrazione di adulterio di Flaubert nella Francia borghese lo vide processato per immoralità, sfuggendo per un pelo alla condanna. Sia Salammbô (1862) che L'educazione sentimentale (1869) furono accolti male e Flaubert ottenne un successo limitato durante la sua vita, ma la sua fama e reputazione crebbero costantemente dopo la sua morte. Se ti è piaciuto A Sentimental Education, potresti apprezzare anche In Praise of Older Women di Stephen Vizinczey, disponibile presso Penguin Modern Classics.

Gustave Flaubert was born in Rouen in 1821, the son of a prominent physician. A solitary child, he was attracted to literature at an early age, and after his recovery from a nervous breakdown suffered while a law student, he turned his total energies to writing. Aside from journeys to the Near East, Greece, Italy, and North Africa, and a stormy liaison with the poetess Louise Colet, his life was dedicated to the practice of his art. The form of his work was marked by intense aesthetic scrupulousness and passionate pursuit of le mot juste; its content alternately reflected scorn for French bourgeois society and a romantic taste for exotic historical subject matter. The success of Madame Bovary (1857) was ensured by government prosecution for “immorality”; Salammbô (1862) and The Sentimental Education (1869) received a cool public reception; not until the publication of Three Tales (1877) was his genius popularly acknowledged. Among fellow writers, however, his reputation was supreme. His circle of friends included Turgenev and the Goncourt brothers, while the young Guy de Maupassant underwent an arduous literary apprenticeship under his direction. Increasing personal isolation and financial insecurity troubled his last years. His final bitterness and disillusion were vividly evidenced in the savagely satiric Bouvard and Pécuchet, left unfinished at his death in 1880.
Robert Baldick translated many volumes from the French for Penguin Classics, including volumes by Diderot, Flaubert, and Verne, and wrote a biography of Huysmans. He died in 1972.
Geoffrey Wall is author of the critically acclaimed Flaubert: A Life and translated Madame Bovary for Penguin Classics.
