A review by helgamharb
Trois Contes by Gustave Flaubert
4.0
Happiness is in the imagination.
The book consists of three short stories, each, ending with a bizarre death.
'A Simple Heart' which was inspired by events in Flaubert's life.
'Saint Julian the Hospitalier' which was inspired by a stained-glass window at Rouen Cathedral.
'Hérodias' which was inspired by a bas-relief at the same Rouen Cathedral.
My favorite was A Simple Heart (twice read), a sad story about a selfless servant girl called Felicité and a parrot called Loulou.
