Bouvard and Pecuchet - Hasan Ali Classics

Bouvard and Pecuchet - Hasan Ali Classics Book Description Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880): Flaubert, who caused important discussions on the life-literature axis with his first novel, Madame Bovary, explained the sciences of his period through two semi-intellectual petty bourgeois in Bouvard and Pécuchet, published a year after his death. and he harshly criticizes the understanding of science, approach to religion, philosophy, literature, historiography and philosophy of history. The ridiculousness of the two friends, the heroes of the novel, arises not only from their own personality traits, but also from the inconsistencies, contradictions and oddities in the intellectual life of the period criticized by the author. With this work, Flaubert came close to his frequently mentioned desire to "write a novel about nothing", and Bouvard and Pécuchet also foreshadow the "anti-novel" understanding of our age. This work, published with the author's notes on the parts he could not complete, constitutes one of the pinnacles of world literature, even if it is unfinished. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
