google.translate of the original description in French: The purpose of the symposium, which brought together both Flaubert specialists and English specialists and comparativists was to ask questions about the book by Julian Barnes and not to confine it to the narrow responses would deny him his innovative literary identity. The various papers put, sometimes in French, sometimes in English highlight the rewriting work, ownership of the subtext (the work Flaubert), integration of the word of the other figures as well as some of the obsessive work of Barnes. The book ends with a conversation with Julian Barnes on the construction of his novel.

Three Short WorksThree Short Works

Here is a collection of strikingly different pieces by Flaubert: a prose poem in the voices of Death, Satan and Nero; the trials and apotheosis of a medieval saint; and the life of a selfless maid in 19th century France. Each exhibits the vigorous exactness, and the mixture of realism and romanticism, for which Flaubert is renowned.
The Dance of Death
The Legend of Saint-Julian the Hospitaller

SalammboSalammbo

Salammbô (1862) is a historical novel by Gustave Flaubert. It is set in Carthage during the third century BCE, immediately before and during the Mercenary Revolt which took place shortly after the First Punic War. Flaubert's main source was Book I of Polybius's Histories. It was not a particularly well-studied period of history and required a great deal of work from the author, who enthusiastically left behind the realism of his masterpiece Madame Bovary for this tale of blood-and-thunder.

The George Sand-Gustave Flaubert LettersThe George Sand-Gustave Flaubert Letters

The correspondence of George Sand and Gustave Flaubert, if approached merely as a chapter in the biographies of these heroes of nineteenth century letters, is sufficiently rewarding. In a relationship extending over twelve years, including the trying period of the Franco-Prussian War and the Commune, these extraordinary personalities disclose the aspects of their diverse natures which are best worth the remembrance of posterity. However her passionate and erratic youth may have captivated our grandfathers, George Sand in the mellow autumn of her life is for us at her most attractive phase.
