Explanation To Books Sentimental Education

Based on Flaubert’s own youthful passion for an older woman, Sentimental Education was described by its author as “the moral history of the men of my generation.” It follows the amorous adventures of Frederic Moreau, a law student who, returning home to Normandy from Paris, notices Mme Arnoux, a slender, dark woman several years older than himself. It is the beginning of an infatuation that will last a lifetime. He befriends her husband, an influential businessman, and as their paths cross and re-cross over the years, Mme Arnoux remains the constant, unattainable love of Moreau’s life. Blending love story, historical authenticity, and satire, Sentimental Education is one of the great French novels of the nineteenth century.

A "sentimental education" means your first love, and if Frédérics not careful he isnt going to learn shit from it. Hes an aimless, pointless little man, slowly failing to do anything whatsoever with his life. Hes in love with his friends wife, and you sortof wish they'd bang just so we'd all have something to watch.The story or the plot of a novel is quite indifferent to me, though, Flaubert said. He wanted real life! Hes the champion of realism, the late 1800s movement away from moral lessons

This is one of the books one should read in autumn when the leaves are falling.

Oh, I who adore Flaubert! how is it that I havent liked The Sentimental Education? We wish so much we loved everything that comes from the ones we love, do we?The Sentimental Education is the journey of a young man Frederic, the man of all weaknesses and other men, who dreams of great love and life, but who deliberately spoils himself in sordid loves. Indeed, the woman he loves is married and their love is impossible. Without living like a monk, the young man, whom Flaubert describes as

This was one of Franz Kafka's favorite books. A young upper class adult learns about love in turbulent 1840's Paris. Like Warren Zevon sang after reading this "I need some sentimental hygiene."

THIS BOOK. Some of the most consistently astonishing prose I've read - whether decadent all-night parties, violent street battles, or intimate scenes of friendship and love. Exquisite construction + moments of gut-punch emotion. A vibrant and still-modern book about illusions, youth, politics, failure. The artistic equivalent of a $200,000 bottle of wine. Surely one of the greatest novels ever written.

I have been educated.

Pretty much the best thing ever. Not really Maybe. Yeah, it's 500 pages long and about a guy who wastes his life and is incredibly selfish and everyone else he knows is even worse ). And yeah, not much happens, especially in the first 200 pages or so. YET the book manages to be fucking intoxicating. The writing is precise, trenchant, etc, as expected, and perhaps because of this it is insanely simple to just get immersed in this world of 1840s Paris. (I know this is selling it on a pretty base
