Perihal e-buku ini
Bouvard & Pécuchet follows two Parisian copy clerks who, after a windfall, retire to Normandy to master all knowledge. Each new enthusiasm—agronomy, chemistry, aesthetics, pedagogy, politics—appears in pitch-perfect pastiche of manuals and treatises. Experiments misfire, doctrines clash, zeal sours, and the pair finally choose copying over comprehension. With chilly impersonal prose and virtuoso ventriloquism, Flaubert satirizes nineteenth‐century scientism and bourgeois optimism while assembling an anatomy of failed method. Written over Flaubert's last decade and published posthumously in 1881, the novel condenses his lifelong war on bêtise. Vast reading dossiers feed its episodes, while the hunt for le mot juste clarifies the chaos. From Madame Bovary to Sentimental Education he traced disappointed desire; here, amid debts, political rancor, and retreat at Croisset, he conceived also the companion Dictionary of Received Ideas. Students of realism, history of science, and media-saturated readers will find it bracing and eerily current: comic in its bravura, rigorous in its pastiche, and grave in its question—what counts as knowledge when everything can be quoted, copied, and filed? Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Author Biography · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
