In A Simple Heart, the poignant story that inspired Julian Barnes' Flaubert s Parrot, Felicite, a French housemaid, approaches a lifetime of servitude with human-scaled but angelic aplomb. No other author has imparted so much beauty and integrity to so modest an existence. Flaubert's "great saint" endures loss after loss by embracing the rich, true rhythms of life: the comfort of domesticity, the solace of the Church, and the depth of memory. This novella showcases Flaubert's perfectly honed realism: a delicate counterpoint of daily events with their psychological repercussions. "Flaubert is diagnosis," Ezra Pound wrote, "the whole of Flaubert, the whole fight for the novel as 'histoire morale contemporaine' was a fight against maxims, against abstractions, a fight back toward a human and/or total conception."Binding Type: Paperback

Nice Quality and Very Functional
Size: 11" x 7.5" x 0.7", Color: Marble Tray-viola Tablet Set
These look great and I love that they can be use for all sorts of things- catchall, tray, soap dish holder. They also have felt bottoms, so they protect whatever you set them. All around a nice product.

Nice little addition to you tabletop or bookshelf.
I liked the size and shape of the sculpture. It is small but makes a statement when stacked on top of a few books. I love it!
