About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

Librivox recording of Three Short Works by Gustave Flaubert. Here is a collection of strikingly different pieces by Flaubert: a prose poem in the voices of Death, Satan and Nero; the trials and apotheosis of a medieval saint; and the life of a selfless maid in 19th century France. Each exhibits the vigorous exactness, and the mixture of realism and romanticism, for which Flaubert is renowned. (Summary by David Barnes) Read by David Barnes
