Set in the Egyptian desert, the novel follows the hermit Saint Anthony through a single, hallucinatory night in which he is assailed by a succession of dazzling, terrifying, and seductive visions. Gods, monsters, heresies, philosophical systems, and the full spectrum of human desire parade before him in a relentless assault on his faith and sanity. Written and rewritten over nearly three decades, this ambitious work blends theology, history, philosophy, and pure imagination into a hypnotic meditation on belief, doubt, and the limits of the human mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst published in final form in 1874\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of Flaubert’s most ambitious and experimental works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA landmark of visionary and philosophical literature\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.
