章节摘录

Part I Chapter NineParis, more vague than the ocean, glimmered before Emma's eyes in an atmosphere of vermilion. The many lives that stirred amid this tumult were, however, divided into parts, classed as distinct pictures. Emma perceived only two or three that hid from her all the rest, and in themselves represented all humanity. The world of ambassadors moved over polished floors in drawing rooms lined with mirrors, round oval tables covered with velvet and gold-fringed cloths. There were dresses with trains, deep mysteries, anguish hidden beneath smiles. Then came the society of the duchesses; all were pale; all got up at four o'clock; the women, poor angels, wore English point on their petticoats; and the men, unappreciated geniuses under a frivolous outward seeming, rode horses to death at pleasure parties, spent the summer season at Baden, and towards the forties married heiresses. In the private rooms of restaurants, where one sups after midnight by the light of wax candles, laughed the motley crowd of men of letters and actresses. They were prodigal as kings, full of ideal, ambitious, fantastic frenzy. This was an existence outside that of all others, between heaven and earth, in the midst of storms, having something of the sublime. For the rest of the world it was lost, with no particular place and as if non-existent. The nearer things were, moreover, the more her thoughts turned away from them. All her immediate surroundings, the wearisome country, the middle-class imbeciles, the mediocrity of existence, seemed to her exceptional, a peculiar chance that had caught hold of her, while beyond stretched, as far as eye could see, an immense land of joys and passions. She confused in her desire the sensualities of luxury with the delights of the heart, elegance of manners with delicacy of sentiment. Did not love, like Indian plants, need a special soil, a particular temperature? Signs by moonlight, long embraces, tears flowing over yielded hands, all the fevers of the flesh and the languors of tenderness could not be separated from the balconies of great castles full of indolence, from boudoirs with silken curtains and thick carpets, well-filled flower-stands, a bed on a raised dias, nor from the flashing of precious stones and the shoulder-knots of liveries.

内容概要

古斯塔夫•福楼拜(Gustave Flaubert，1821—1880)，继巴尔扎克、司汤达之后19世纪法国批判现实主义文学的杰出代表。

生于法国诺曼底卢昂医生世家。童年在父亲医院里度过，医院环境培养了他细致观察与剖析事物的习惯，对日后的文学创作产生了极大的影响。1840年，他赴巴黎求学，攻读法律，期间结识雨果。1843年放弃法律，专攻文学。1846年，回卢昂，结识女诗人路易丝•柯莱，随后有近十年的交往。定居卢昂期间，他埋头写作，偶尔拜会文艺界的朋友，直到生命最后时刻。晚年，他曾悉心指导莫泊桑写作。

1857年，福楼拜出版代表作长篇小说《包法利夫人》，轰动文坛。其作品另有《萨朗波》、《情感教育》、《圣安东尼的诱惑》、《布瓦尔和佩库歇》和短篇小说集《三故事》等。
