Sentimental education : the story of a young man

Flaubert, Gustave, 1821-18802016
Books
With his first glimpse of Madame Arnoux, Frederic Moreau is convinced he has found his romantic destiny, but when he pursues her to Paris the young student is unable to translate his passion into decisive action. He also finds himself distracted by the equally romantic appeal of political action in the turbulent years leading up to the revolution of 1848, and by the attraction of three other women - a haughty lady, a capricious courtesan, and an artless country girl - each of whom seeks to make him her own.
