Media Reviews
"I would suggest that Flaubert resembles Kafka as a progenitor of literary modernism in his ability to draw intense energy from his own neuroses, to plumb their depths so fearlessly that he can transform them from a bizarre special case into an exemplary condition...Let me [also] propose a configuration of three recurrent ideas on his correspondence: prostitution, the Mediterranean, and art itself." -- Robert Alter
-- New Republic
"Flaubert's novels and tales are fine, but the letters are the thing." -- Adrian Tahourdin
-- Times Literary Supplement

Flaubert in Egypt
by Gustave Flaubert
At once a classic of travel literature and a penetrating portrait of a sensibility on tour, Flaubert in Egypt wonderfully captures the young writer's impressions during his 1849 voyage to the "Orient". Using diaries, letters, travel notes, and the evidence of Flaubert's traveling companion Maxime Du Camp, Francis Steegmuller reconstructs this formative journey - through the bazaars and brothels of Cairo, down the length of the Nile, to the fabled Red Sea.
