Download or read book Bouvard and Pecuchet written by Gustave Flaubert and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1976-06-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bouvard and Pécuchet are two Chaplinesque copy-clerks who meet on a park bench in Paris. Following an unexpected inheritance, they decide to give up their jobs and explore the world of ideas. In this, his last novel, unfinished on his death in 1880, Flaubert attempted to encompass his lifelong preoccupation with bourgeois stupidity and his disgust at the banalities of intellectual life in France. Into it he poured all his love of detail, his delight in the life of the mind, his despair of human nature, and his pleasure in passionate friendship. The result is “a kind of encyclopedia made into farce,” wholly grotesque and wholly original, in the spirit of Gargantua and Pantagruel, Don Quixote or Ulysses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When two copy clerks inherit a fortune, they embark on a new life as professional dilettantes in the unfinished novel by the author of Madame Bovary. First conceived in 1863 and left unfinished at his death in 1880, Bouvard and Pécuchet was to be Gustave Flaubert’s masterpiece. It tells the story of two Parisian copy clerks, François Bouvard and Juste Pécuchet, who become fast friends. When Bouvard inherits a fortune, their lives are transformed. Now living on a country estate in Normandy, they are free to devote themselves to intellectual pursuits. Over the course of many years, their forays into agriculture, chemistry, archeology, and drama end in futility. As each endeavor flounders, Bouvard and Pécuchet are increasingly alienated from themselves, each other, and especially the local townsfolk—who grow progressively unhappy with their antics. As the world quickly changes around them, Bouvard and Pécuchet remain beginners in their quest to find a purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bouvard and Pecuchet opens with two middle-aged copy-clerks who become fast friends after meeting on a city bench and discovering their shared habit of writing their names in their hats: "I should say so! Someone could walk off with mine at the office!" When a small inheritance allows Bouvard and Pecuchet to retire early and move to the country, they use their newfound leisure time to satisfy their curiosity about all the things they'd been too busy to study in the city. Flaubert shows his unlikely protagonists diving disastrously into everything from farming and politics to literature and love, and coming up empty-handed each time - until, finally, their obsessive pursuit of knowledge becomes an end in itself.

Download or read book Bouvard and Pecuchet written by Gustave Flaubert and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is widely read as a precursor to modern theories on semiotics and postmodernism. The relentless failure of Bouvard and Pecuchet to learn anything from their adventures raises the question of what is knowable. Whenever they achieve some small measure of success (a rare occurrence), it is the result of unknown external forces beyond their comprehension. The worldview that emerges from the work, one of human beings proceeding relentlessly forward without comprehending the results of their actions or the processes of the world around them, does not seem an optimistic one. But given that Bouvard and Pecuchet do gain some comprehension of humanity's ignorant state (as demonstrated by their composition of the Dictionary of Received Ideas), it could be argued that Flaubert allows for the possibility of relative enlightenment.

Book excerpt: As there were thirty-three degrees of heat the Boulevard Bourdon was absolutely deserted. Farther down, the Canal St. Martin, confined by two locks, showed in a straight line its water black as ink. In the middle of it was a boat, filled with timber, and on the bank were two rows of casks. Beyond the canal, between the houses which separated the timber-yards, the great pure sky was cut up into plates of ultramarine; and under the reverberating light of the sun, the white facades, the slate roofs, and the granite wharves glowed dazzlingly. In the distance arose a confused noise in the warm atmosphere; and the idleness of Sunday, as well as the melancholy engendered by the summer heat, seemed to shed around a universal languor. Two men made their appearance. One came from the direction of the Bastille; the other from that of the Jardin des Plantes. The taller of the pair, arrayed in linen cloth, walked with his hat2 back, his waistcoat unbuttoned, and his cravat in his hand. The smaller, whose form was covered with a maroon frock-coat, wore a cap with a pointed peak. As soon as they reached the middle of the boulevard, they sat down, at the same moment, on the same seat. In order to wipe their foreheads they took off their headgear, each placing his beside himself; and the little man saw "Bouvard" written in his neighbour's hat, while the latter easily traced "Pecuchet" in the cap of the person who wore the frock-coat. "Look here!" he said; "we have both had the same idea-to write our names in our head-coverings!" "Yes, faith, for they might carry off mine from my desk." "'Tis the same way with me. I am an employe." Then they gazed at each other. Bouvard's agreeable visage quite charmed Pecuchet. His blue eyes, always half-closed, smiled in his fresh-coloured face. His trousers, with big flaps, which creased at the end over beaver shoes, took the shape of his stomach, and made his shirt bulge out at the waist; and his fair hair, which of its own accord grew in tiny curls, gave him a somewhat childish look.

Book excerpt: Nowhere do Flaubert's explorations of the relation of signs to the objects they signify reach a more thorough study than in this work. Bouvard and Pécuchet systematically confuse signs and symbols with reality, an assumption that causes them much suffering, as it does for Emma Bovary and Frédéric Moreau. Yet here, due to the explicit focus on books and knowledge, Flaubert's ideas reach a climax. Consequently, the book is widely read as a precursor to modern theories on semiotics and postmodernism. The relentless failure of Bouvard and Pécuchet to learn anything from their adventures raises the question of what is knowable. Whenever they achieve some small measure of success (a rare occurrence), it is the result of unknown external forces beyond their comprehension. In this sense, they strongly resemble Antony in The Temptation of St. Anthony, a work which addresses similar epistemological themes as they relate to classical literature. Lionel Trilling wrote that the novel expresses a belief in the alienation of human thought from human experience. The worldview that emerges from the work, one of human beings proceeding relentlessly forward without comprehending the results of their actions or the processes of the world around them, does not seem an optimistic one. But given that Bouvard and Pécuchet do gain some comprehension of humanity's ignorant state (as demonstrated by their composition of the Dictionary of Received Ideas), it could be argued that Flaubert allows for the possibility of relative enlightenment.

"Bouvard and Pecuchet unravels the novel's realist tradition, and sets the stage for the modernist innovations of Kafka, Joyce, and Beckett.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bouvard and Pécuchet" is one of Gustave Flaubert's most well-known works. With its meticulously crafted sentences and precise words, the novel has endured the test of time without losing its impact and expressive power. The narrative focuses on two credulous characters, the copyists, and friends, Bouvard and Pécuchet, who, upon receiving an inheritance, decide to swap Paris for life in the countryside. The result is a series of mishaps, narrated with refined humor and laden with criticism. The structure of the narrative depicts the very obsession with the pursuit of truth as a wheel spinning in vain, amusingly and pathetically involving its two protagonists and all the encyclopedic knowledge of the 19th century. The work " Bouvard and Pécuchet" is part of the famous collection: "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die."

Highly influential, he has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality". He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.

This book was released on 2024-07-27 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bouvard and Pécuchet: A Tragi-comic Novel of Bourgeois Life, part 1" by Gustave Flaubert is a satirical masterpiece that delves into the follies and absurdities of the bourgeoisie. The novel follows the lives of two clerks, Bouvard and Pécuchet, who, upon inheriting a fortune, decide to leave their monotonous jobs and pursue a life of intellectual and practical endeavors. Their journey begins with enthusiastic attempts to master various fields of knowledge and practice, from agriculture and medicine to philosophy and literature. However, their lack of expertise and the overwhelming complexity of each subject lead to a series of comical failures. Despite their earnest efforts, Bouvard and Pécuchet's ventures often end in disaster, highlighting the limitations of amateur dabbling and the unpredictability of human endeavors. Flaubert's keen eye for detail and sharp wit shine through as he critiques the pretensions and superficiality of the middle class. The novel is rich with irony and humor, making it a delightful yet thought-provoking read. Through the misadventures of his protagonists, Flaubert explores themes of knowledge, ambition, and the human condition. "Bouvard and Pécuchet" is a testament to Flaubert's literary genius and his ability to blend tragedy and comedy. This first part of the novel sets the stage for a broader exploration of the characters' quest for meaning and understanding in a complex world. It remains a classic of French literature and a biting commentary on the pursuit of intellectual fulfillment.
