About this book

Memoirs of a Madman (Hesperus Classics) by Gustave Flaubert. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781843910008.

A captivating and evocative work, Memoirs of a Madman is one of Flauberts earliest writings, and forms the basis for his highly renowned LEducation Sentimentale. As a young man looks back on the years that have brought him to "madness," he recalls the innocence of his boyhood and his fond belief that he was blessed with a mind of genius. Yet, painfully, wretchedly, he also recounts his all-too-sudden entry into the adult world. For the day he caught sight of a beautiful woman by the sea marked the end of his flamboyant philosophizing, and the beginning of a tragic coming of age.
