Summary
Gustav Flaubert: November
November is Flaubert's first work, his most intimate confession, a book far ahead of its time, whose basic themes are the unfulfilled love of a young man and the story of a courtesan whose youth has irretrievably passed. . .
"November will be the book that will lead to a new form of the novel and its prose in the 20th century." - Miloš Crnjanski
