Three Tales by Gustave Flaubert

3.0

All fairly straight-forward. A complete biography of a kindhearted servant’s life full of caring too much and being taken advantage of, a wild flight of psuedo-medieval fantasy (I found the story of St. Julian Hospitaler to be my least favorite of the three tales) and a look beyond the edges of the Biblical tale of the martyrdom of St. John the Baptist. That was kinda cool. Maybe my favorite. It added smells and sights and sounds and details to Herod’s banquet and really made you pity him.
