I created an account just to refute this ridiculous comment. Flaubert genius was he was incredibly economical in his writing. Salambo, Temptation of St Anthony, Madame Bovary and Sentimental Education are all so wildly different. Event translated into English the fragrant, elegance comes through. Nabokov, James Joyce, William James and Cormac McCarthy all tooks lessons from him and recognized the power…
> From today's perspective, it's boring, it's not insightful and the style is excruciatingly dated From your perspective. From my perspective, Madame Bovary and Sentimental Education are exceptional. Fresh, engaging and psychologically insightful. I would recommend anyone who enjoys reading to try Flaubert.
…apart all transcendence. This de-idealization follows the path of reification, or, to invoke Augustine, the path of carnalization of the spiritual. Rhetorically, this is effected through literalization. A Sentimental Education does little more than elaborate the progressive literalization of the Annunciation. The gist of it is that there's an opposition between "text" and "ideal"; from the author's POV, ideals are really false…
一定要读福楼拜的《情感教育》。那个结局至今依然让我触动不已。
Most definitely read Flaubert's "Sentimental Education." The ending still gets to me.
我特意注册了个账号就为了反驳这条荒谬的评论。福楼拜的牛逼之处在于他的笔法极度克制精炼。《萨朗宝》、《圣安东尼的诱惑》、《包法利夫人》和《情感教育》风格迥异。即便被翻译成英文，那种芬芳与典雅依然跃然纸上。纳博科夫、詹姆斯·乔伊斯、威廉·詹姆斯和考麦克·麦卡锡都曾向他偷师，深知其文字的力量……

> 从今天的角度来看，它既无聊又缺乏洞见，文风还过时得让人难受。那只是你的看法。在我看来，《包法利夫人》和《情感教育》堪称神作。鲜活、抓人，且极具心理洞察力。我推荐所有热爱阅读的人都去读读福楼拜。

只有奇幻小说才这样？随手举个例子，福楼拜的《情感教育》里就描写了不少极其丰盛的大餐。
Only fantasy novels? To take an example close to hand, Flaubert's Sentimental Education describes a fair number of elaborate meals.
……抛弃了一切超越性。这种去理想化遵循的是物化的路径，或者借用奥古斯丁的说法，是灵性肉体化的路径。在修辞上，这是通过字面化来实现的。《情感教育》本质上无非是对“受胎告知”进行渐进式字面化的详细阐述。其核心要义在于“文本”与“理想”之间存在对立；在作者看来，理想其实是虚幻的……
