About the author

Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880), one of France’s leading exponents of literary realism, was born in Rouen. He arrived in Paris in 1840 to study law but soon returned to his hometown, where he largely remained, focused on his writing in the family home in Croisset. Provincial life was the focus of Madame Bovary, but a trip to Egypt and the Middle East gave him inspiration for Salammbô. He died at the age of fifty-eight.
