Gustave Flaubert
Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was a prominent French novelist widely regarded as one of the masters of realism. Known for his obsessive devotion to his art, Flaubert meticulously researched and refined his prose, striving for the perfect word ('le mot juste'). His major works, including 'Madame Bovary' (1856), 'Salammbô' (1862), and 'Bouvard and Pécuchet' (published posthumously), are celebrated for their psychological depth, satirical commentary on bourgeois life, and groundbreaking narrative techniques. Flaubert's influence on modern literature is immense, marking a shift towards objective narrative and precise observation.
Trois contes (Three Tales) is a collection of three novellas by Gustave Flaubert, published in 1877. The collection includes 'Un cœur simple' (A Simple Heart), 'La Légende de Saint Julien l'Hospitalier' (The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaler), and 'Hérodias' (Herodias). Each tale showcases Flaubert's masterful prose and meticulous attention to detail, but explores different themes and historical settings: the unwavering devotion of a humble servant, the path of violence and spiritual redemption, and the biblical drama of power and lust. The collection is notable for its stylistic versatility and its departure from Flaubert's more extensive realist novels, offering a concentrated exploration of human nature and fate.
本篇「光之對談」由博物學愛好者哈珀主持，與法國寫實主義大師居斯塔夫·福樓拜進行了一場跨越時空的對話。對談圍繞福樓拜晚年創作的《三則故事》展開，深入探討了他創作《純樸的心》、《聖朱利安好客者傳說》和《希羅底》的動機，以及如何在這三部風格迥異的作品中，以其標誌性的精確筆觸，揭示人性中純粹的奉獻、暴力與救贖，以及權力與慾望的交織。對話強調了福樓拜對人類命運的客觀呈現，並從博物學角度將人物特質與自然界的「生命適應」相類比，帶來獨特的洞察。
