Synopsis "Bouvard and Pecuchet"

Nowhere do Flaubert's explorations of the relation of signs to the objects they signify reach a more thorough study than in this work. Bouvard and Pécuchet systematically confuse signs and symbols with reality, an assumption that causes them much suffering, as it does for Emma Bovary and Frédéric Moreau. Yet here, due to the explicit focus on books and knowledge, Flaubert's ideas reach a climax. Consequently, the book is widely read as a precursor to modern theories

Gustave Flaubert (Rouen, December 12, 1821-Croisset, May 8, 1880) was a French writer. Considered one of the greatest novelists worldwide, he is mainly known for his novel Madame Bovary, as well as for his scrupulous devotion to his art and style, the best example of which was his endless search for le mot juste (‘the exact word’).
