Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) was born in Rouen, France.Published in 1857, Madame Bovary gained popularity after a failed attempt to ban it for obscenity.Salammbô (1862), Sentimental Education (1869), and the political play The Candidate (1874) met with criticism and misconceptions.Only after the publication of Three Tales in 1877 was Flaubert's genius publicly acknowledged.
