An approachable abridgment of Sartre's important analysis of
Flaubert. From 1981 to 1994, the University of Chicago Press
published a five-volume translation of Jean-Paul Sartre's The
Family Idiot: Gustave Flaubert, 1821-1857, a sprawling masterwork
by one of the greatest intellects of the twentieth century. This
new volume delivers a compact abridgment of the original by
renowned Sartre scholar, Joseph Catalano. Sartre claimed that his
existential approach to psychoanalysis required a new Freud, and in
his study of Gustave Flaubert, Sartre becomes that Freud. The work
summarizes Sartre's overarching aim to reveal that human life is a
meaningful adventure of freedom. In discussing Flaubert's work,
particularly his classic novel Madame Bovary, Sartre unleashes a
fierce critique of modernity as nihilistic and demeaning of human
dignity.
