First published in 1877, these three stories are dominated by
questions of doubt, love, loneliness and religious experience, and
together form a triumphant conclusion to Flaubert's literary
career. With elegant simplicity, A Simple Heart' relates the story
of Felicite - an uneducated serving-woman who retains her Catholic
faith despite a life of desolation and loss. Inspired by a
stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral, The Legend of Saint Julian
Hospitator' describes the fate of Julian, a sadistic hunter
destined to murder his own parents. The blend of faith and cruelty
that dominates this story may also be found in Herodias' - a
reworking of the tale of Salome and John the Baptist.
