<b>Twenty years after <i>Madame Bovary</i>, Flaubert wrote <i>Three Tales</i>, each of which reveals a different aspect of his creative genius and fine craftsmanship.</b> In <i>A Simple Heart</i>, a story set in his native Normandy, in which every chapter, every place, every emotion corresponds to some person, some scene, some feeling in the author's past, he recounts the life of a pious and devoted servant girl. 'I want to move tender hearts to pity and tears,' he wrote, 'for I am tender-hearted myself.' A stained-glass window in Rouen cathedral inspired him to write <i>The legend of St Julian Hospitator</i> with its insight into the violence and mysticism of the medieval mind. <i>Herodias,</i> the last of the three, is a masterly and powerful reconstruction of the events leading up to the martyrdom of St John the Baptist.
