Hers is a life without drama or recognition, rendered by Flaubert with devastating tenderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitalier\u003c\/i\u003e, a medieval nobleman is driven by an inexplicable bloodlust to slaughter, to parricide, and ultimately to sainthood - the story told in the vivid, heraldic style of a cathedral window, its hero neither fully guilty nor fully innocent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHerodias\u003c\/i\u003e, the court of Herod Antipas awaits a birthday feast. Herodias has her plan. Salom� will dance. A head will be delivered on a platter. Flaubert compresses the drama of an empire into a single day of heat, intrigue, and irreversible consequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in 1877, three years before his death, \u003ci\u003eThree Tales\u003c\/i\u003e is the work in which Flaubert - author of \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSentimental Education\u003c\/i\u003e - achieved something beyond the novel: three perfect forms, three eras, three kinds of grace.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47883166154903,"sku":"9798259258655","price":895.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798259258655.webp?v=1781099919","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/three-tales-a-new-translation-9798259258655","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
