Madame BOVARY: A LARGE Print, Small Price Book
We were in class when the head-master came in, followed by a "new fellow," not wearing the school uniform, and a school servant carrying a large desk.

the real quote ‘Ce qui m’empêche de me prendre au sérieux, quoique j’aie l’esprit assez grave, c’est que je me trouve très ridicule, non pas de ce ridicule relatif qui est le comique théâtral, mais de ce ridicule intrinsèque à la vie humaine elle-même, et qui ressort de l’action la plus simple ou du geste le plus ordinaire. Jamais, par exemple, je ne me fais la barbe sans rire, tant ça me paraît bête. Tout cela est fort difficile à expliquer’
where is Nobokov??
This is so good. Emma’s reading bad books back then was like the crummy romantic comedies we have today. And the awful “reality” shows. This stuff teaches lies, just like Emma’s bad books.
Madame Bovary almost nearly broke me as a human. It was amazing but it broke me. I got too involved. The end was too much. I distinctly remember putting the book down and saying ‘mother fucker…’
do a video about scott Fitzgerald please
Perfect people Gustavo
이평화는 이 영상을 좋아합니다.
I remember thinking it seemed like a story of someone who had “bipolar disorder”. But also I do remember feeling that the writer was unsympathetic to M. Bovary, and her capriciousness. Might need to read it again
You should mention that there are spoilers tho, bcz I’m reading Madame Bovary at the moment /:
Do one on Vladimir Nabokov!
Exercise does prevent all illness though, it’s true. Gotta work out regularly!
I like these videos but the guy who narrates them has a voice that is ridiculously soft and vaguely homosexual, its just a bit strange, a can’t image him talking in normal conversation without it seeming odd.
All great thinkers mocked the inability of the people to overcome nationalism.
Impressed, I am gonna read on eof his book
Please do a video on Oscar Wilde.
Great video. thanks . This is my report for Literature class
it’s safe to say flaubert wouldn’t be a fan of Mills and Boon
Yes! So much yes! He understands why I hate all you dickheads on the net!
Can you please take my English final exam for me?
I wonder what his take on the good ole Interwebs would be? Probably an aneurysm.
Please do Hugo
Hey! Do you think you could consider making literature videos about some non-western authors? Like middle eastern, Chinese, Japanese, Latin American?
How have you not done David Foster Wallace yet?
i looove you! thank you for this video!
Facebook would probably give this guy a heart attack.
Can we get a video on vladimir nobakov
Madame’s Ovary is the name of my favorite Lesbian Bar.
Pretty cool …
“art is superior to everything. A book of poetry is worth more than a railway”. Typical european asshole artist.
Gustave Flaubert; only difference between him and a soverign citizen is 100 years… and a smart phone.
TS Elliott please
6:25 What’s the name of the painting which features the “modern idiot”?
That moment when you have to explain why Flaubert was not a misoginist -____-
Flaubery was a reactionary. Pretty much a fascist like Carlyle
“La Betise” = “Fake News…”
Great to see Flaubert, any chance to do an episode about Emile Zola
Flaubert’s “Madame Bovary”, Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” & Sinclair Lewis’ “Main Street” are all essentially the same story – except the American writer flinched at consummated adultery & kept it only in Catherine’s faithless heart.
A modern idiot can know what only the geniuses of past have known but still be an idiot, which is a very dangerous combination of which the previous generations were unaware of
