Book summary

Unfinished at his death, Flaubert's final work is a vastly funny satire of the intellectual and moral pretensions of 19th-century French bourgeois society. It features two Chaplinesque clerks who, with the help of a surprise legacy, attempt to scale the heights of knowledge--only to discover an abyss of stupidity.
