Gustave Flaubert transformed French literature and caused an outcry when his novel "Madame Bovary", portraying a woman trapped in an unhappy marriage, was published in 1857. Combining letters to his mother and friends with personal notes, this volume reconstructs Flaubert"s formative journey to Egypt as a young man, beautifully portraying his sense of wonder and decadent surrender to the sensual delights of nineteenth-century Cairo.
