Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880) was born in Rouen, the son of a surgeon, and after abandoning law lived for most of his life at Croisset, near Rouen, devoting himself to prose with a severity that became legendary. Madame Bovary (1857), Salammbô (1862), Sentimental Education (1869), Three Tales (1877) and the unfinished Bouvard and Pécuchet are his works.
