In Three Short Works, three character-driven stories follow each
protagonist as they attempt to navigate the trials and tribulations
of life, death, love and loss. Flaubert presents a powerful
combination of realism and romanticism that jumps off the page.
Three Short Works consists of three distinct stories. "The Dance of
Death" centers on the plight of the Grim Reaper or Death, as he
complains about his difficult job and unenviable title. In "The
Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller," a young man is cursed to
murder his parents and attempts to outrun his fate. While "A Simple
Soul" follows a hard-working maid who dedicates her life to a
mistress and her two children. Three Short Works is both
enlightening and entertaining. Flaubert tackles vastly different
stories from a unique point-of-view. Each selection is a poignant
tale that charts the internal struggle of these disparate
characters. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Three Short Works is both
modern and readable.
