'Bouvard and Pécuchet' (1881) was written by the great French author Gustave Flaubert, famous for his scandalous best-selling novel 'Madame Bovary'. Although unfinished at the time of his passing, this posthumous novel is now considered one of Flaubert's masterpieces. Two retired Parisian clerks, Bouvard and Pécuchet, set out on a quest for truth and knowledge, but despite constant failure, the pair continue their symbolic adventure with dogged optimism.A humorous, gripping satire that touches on politics, love, and religion, 'Bouvard and Pécuchet' is Flaubert at his best.-
