From agriculture and chemistry to medicine, literature, politics, and religion, the pair throws themselves into one field after another with boundless enthusiasm—and spectacular failure. With dry humor, meticulous observation, and devastating irony, Flaubert turns their earnest quest into a brilliant satire of the limits of human understanding and the vanity of intellectual ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst published posthumously in 1881\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlaubert’s final novel and one of his most ambitious works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comic masterpiece on the futility of encyclopedic knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in multiple formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e — Elegant print edition presenting the complete, unabridged text.
