Ilustration In Favor Of Books Memoirs of a Madman

A captivating and evocative work, Memoirs of a Madman is one of Flaubert's earliest writings, and forms the basis for his highly renowned L'Education Sentimentale. As a young man looks back on the years that have brought him to "madness," he recalls the innocence of his boyhood and his fond belief that he was blessed with a mind of genius. Yet, painfully, wretchedly, he also recounts his all-too-sudden entry into the adult world. For the day he caught sight of a beautiful woman by the sea marked the end of his flamboyant philosophizing, and the beginning of a tragic coming of age.

Assess Regarding Books Memoirs of a Madman

Flaubert'ı daha yakından tanımak isteyenler için mükemmel bir kaynak. Bir anı kitabından fazlası, yaşam öyküsüne tanıklık etme imkanı bulacaksınız.

Memoirs of a madman this certainly is! It is something of a semi-autobiographical stream of consciousness and it is for this reason and others that I feel it can't really work as a novel, at least not in the conventional way. By throwing up some interesting questions about the role man plays on this earth and love versus infatuation, I enjoyed this for its somewhat unsubtle philosophising and frantic narrative voice which really make for a compelling "memoir".

İncecik bir kitap olmasına rağmen son derece zor bir okumaydı.Okumayı zorlaştıran şey kitabın dili değil de anlatımıydı.Cidden ismiyle münhasırdı.Sanki bir delinin hezeyanlarını anlattığı anlamsız cümleleri okur gibiydim.Hiç keyif almadım.

A curious little series of essays, Memoirs of a Madman seems only to cover what many men experience upon reaching puberty. That most men do not attempt to put their experience into words is what distinguishes Flaubert from them, but also what distinguishes this work in its own right.While the style is gushing, the focal points for different sections of the text are like primary colours in an otherwise black and white scene. The sensuality described is mainly experienced through the eyes as well.

Aaaaah... youth and the maelstrom of romantic feelings and reactions to experiencing 'first love'... personally found Flaubert's views somehow relatable and he got interesting points on the 'philosophy' of love and freedom..worth a read!!

"All is thus darkness around man, all is empty and he would like something fixed-he himself spins through this vague immensity where he would like find a firm footing-he clings to everything and everything fails him; fatherland, freedom, belief, God, virtue, he has seized it all and it has fallen from his hands-like a madman who drops a crystal vase and laughs at all the fragments he has made." (Pg. 64)Warning: This amazing book could be hazardous to a fragile mental health.

"There too, there was nothing but disappointment; for we return to earth, this icyearth where all fires die, all energy fades! By what steps can we return from theinfinite to the concrete? By what processes can poetry bow down without allowingitself to be broken? How can we shrink the giant who embraces the infinite?"Somewhat disjointed Flaubert juvenalia. It lacks the irony of later Flaubert, and suffers for it.
