Résumé

A book that deeply influenced the young Freud & was the inspiration for many artists, The Temptation of Saint Anthony was Flaubert's lifelong work, 30 years in the making. Based on the story of the 3rd-century saint who lived on an isolated mountaintop in the Egyptian desert, it's a fantastical rendering of one night during which Anthony is besieged by carnal temptations & philosophical doubt. This edition features the distinguished Lafcadio Hearn translation, which translator Richard Sieburth calls a splendid period piece from one of America's premier translators of 19th-century French prose. In Lafcadio Hearn's Latinate rendering, Flaubert's experimental drama of the modern consciousness reads as weirdly as its oneiric original.
