Noted for his scrupulous devotion to style and aesthetics, Gustave Flaubert was a highly influential figure of nineteenth century literature, widely considered the leading exponent of French literary realism. His debut novel ‘Madame Bovary’ (1857) caused a scandal, as public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial made the story notorious and after Flaubert's acquittal, it became an instant bestseller. Today, it is regarded as a seminal work of literary realism and one of the most influential literary works of the time. This comprehensive eBook offers the most complete collection ever compiled of Flaubert’s fictional works in English translation, with numerous illustrations, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

An important practitioner of American literary regionalism, Sarah Orne Jewett was a novelist, short story writer and poet, whose works are noted for ‘local color’, set against the backdrop of her beloved seacoast of Maine. Her acknowledged masterpiece, ‘The Country of the Pointed Firs’ portrays the isolation and loneliness of a declining seaport town, blended with the unique humour of its people. Her works are sympathetic, yet unsentimental in approach, portraying a nostalgic view of a provincial and rapidly disappearing society, imbued with the naturalism of Gustave Flaubert. This comprehensive eBook presents Jewett’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts and informative introductions.
