About this ebook
"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."
