The first translation into English for over seventy years of a neglected literary gem, Gustave Flaubert's November, sequel to his earlier Memoirs of a Madman (published by Hesperus in 2002), explores the notion of desire and longing to most remarkable effect. himself, believing he has now reached the autumn of his life. His increasing hopelessness gives way to a yearning for romance - surely the love of a woman can give him the purpose he so craves? Convinced of the truth of this, he visits Marie, a kind-hearted prostitute - yet Marie, too, is starved of love and longs for acceptance. Together they form a tragic portrait of personal anguish, and provide the basis for Flaubert's extraordinary outpouring of romantic longing and the precursor to his later novels. Foreword by Nadine Gordimer
