By Michel Winock
«Je porte en moi los angeles mélancolie des races barbares, avec ses instincts de migrations et ses dégoûts innés de l. a. vie, qui leur faisait quitter leur can pay, pour se quitter eux-mêmes.» Flaubert Peut-on lâcher son siècle ? Le détester, oui, lui préférer une Antiquité imaginaire, certes, mais Flaubert est entraîné dans les tourbillons du temps. Son œuvre portera cette double marque : le rêve carthaginois d'un monde flamboyant à jamais disparu et los angeles peinture vengeresse du siècle de Monsieur Prudhomme et du pharmacien Homais. Michel Winock porte un regard d'historien sur cette vie tout entière vouée à l. a. littérature. Son dégoût proclamé de l. a. vie, Flaubert ne l'a transcendé ni par l'expérience amoureuse, ni par l. a. foi en Dieu, ni par quelque idéal politique, mais par l. a. faith de l'Art, dont il fut un pèlerin absolu.

The sense of beauty, in itself quite a simple instinctive thing, had not entirely disappeared, as one might suppose; it had been degraded into a sense of propriety, so that people called those things beautiful which seemed to them proper to their social station.
