Three Short Works, by Gustave Flaubert. Part II.

Episode description

Here is a collection of strikingly different pieces by Flaubert: a prose poem in the voices of Death, Satan and Nero; the trials and apotheosis of a medieval saint; and the life of a selfless maid in 19th century France. 

Each exhibits the vigorous exactness, and the mixture of realism and romanticism, for which Flaubert is renowned.
