Editorial Reviews

Review - French Cet ermite tente par le Diable, Flaubert en decouvre la grandeur sur un tableau de Brueghel. Des lors, il le sait : Saint Antoine sera l'oeuvre de sa vie. Durant pres de trente ans, il reecrira ce projet poetico-mystique en parallele de ses autres ecrits. Saint de solitude et de desir en proie a l'eclat des tenebres, aux obsessions et aux revoltes de son esprit, Saint Antoine devient pour l'ecrivain son entreprise litteraire la plus haute et la plus personnelle... un Faust trop humain entre deux infinis. Enrichie d'une introduction d'Edouard Maynial, cette edition critique remet au jour le chef-d'oeuvre de Flaubert, dont l'imaginaire, conjuguant visions romantiques et antiques, repond a tous les siecles.
