After many reflections, Bouvard realised that he had made a mistake. His property required cultivation on a large scale, the concentrated system, and he risked all the disposable capital that he had left—thirty thousand francs.
Stimulated by Pécuchet, he began to rave about pasture. In the pit for composts were heaped up branches of trees, blood, guts, feathers—everything that he could find. He used Belgian cordial, Swiss wash, lye, red herrings, wrack, rags; sent for guano, tried to manufacture it himself; and, pushing his principles to the farthest point, he would not suffer even urine or other refuse to be lost. Into his farmyard were carried carcasses of animals, with which he manured his lands. Their cut-up carrion strewed the fields.

E se il benessere cresce, è però scomparso lo splendore della vita.
Ho già dichiarato più volte il mio pensiero in merito alla lettura di opere l
Ο θρηνητικά απογοητευτικός μονόλογος του Φάουστ, στην αρχή του πρώτου μέρους, είναι όλο το προσχέδιο του «Μπουβάρ και Πεκισέ». Η απελπισία και η πικρή μετάνοια του Φάουστ που μελέτησε άδικα φιλοσοφία, νομικά, ιατρική και φεύ! θεολογία, εκφράζει την επισκόπηση του Φλωμπέρ αναφορικά με όλες τις μοντέρ
Αν κάποτε έγγραφα ένα βιβλίο, φαντάζομαι πως θα ήταν κάτι σαν αυτό. Από τα μεγαλύτερα έργα της παγκόσμιας λογοτεχνίας. Απορώ πως ο Flaubert έμεινε γνωστός με τη Μαντάμ Μποβαρύ. Είναι ο ορισμός του φιλοσοφικού μυθιστορήματος και επάξια το καλύτερο στην κατηγορία του, απ’ όσα έχω διαβάσει.

One of the world's most unreadable books, Boulevard and Pecuchet was Flaubert's last work and was intended to be a sort of summary of all kinds of knowledge he had acquired using a comical tone with his two protagonists. However, unlike Madame Bovary or Education Sentimental, I found no affinity wit
As I watched the heroes of Flaubert's last, unfinished novel meander aimlessly from one disaster to the next, they began to seem strangely familiar. And after a while, I couldn't help wondering
