Frederic Moreau is a law student returning home to Normandy from Paris when he first notices Mme Arnoux, a slender, dark woman several years older than himself. It is the beginning of an infatuation that will last a lifetime. He befriends her husband, an influential businessman, and their paths cross and re-cross over the years. Through financial upheaval, political turmoil and countless affairs, Mme Arnoux remains the constant, unattainable love of Moreau's life. Flaubert described his sweeping story of a young man's passions, ambitions and amours as 'the moral history of the men of my generation'. Based on his own youthful passion for an older woman, Sentimental Educationblends love story, historical authenticity and satire to create one of the greatest French novels of the nineteenth century.… (mais)
Here's what I wrote about this read in 2008: "It took quite some online reviewing to recall this novel, another set primarily in Paris, including the February 1848 revolts, and considered to accurately describe Parisian mood of the times. Central to the story is a young man's infatuatiof on older, married woman. Considered very fine, and only slightly secondary to Madame Bovary. Probably a good idea to re-read some day." ( )
La historia de un ambicioso joven de provincias que se enamora de una mujer casada sirvió a Flaubert para crear uno de los hitos estilísticos de la literatura universal, quizá su obra maestra, sin duda una de las novelas más perdurables de todos los tiempos. En la cubierta del barco que le lleva de París a su ciudad natal, Frédéric Moreau se quedará prendado de la belleza de la señora Arnoux, punto de arranque de las tribulaciones de un joven que sueña con alcanzar fama y fortuna y que, de regreso a París, frecuentará al señor Arnoux para estar cerca de su secreto amor. Todo ello tendrá lugar en un escenario esplendoroso, el París de mediados del siglo XIX, la capital de la burguesía emergente, donde la intensidad del placer se mezcla con el inevitable tedio y el resplandor de uno de los períodos cruciales de la historia europea: la revolución de 1848.
Protagonist Frédéric Moreau becomes infatuated with an older married woman, Marie Arnoux. Moreau is shallow, self-absorbed, and indecisive. Unable to court Madame Arnoux, he forms relationships with three other women (a mistress, a country girl, and a woman of social standing) but has trouble with commitment. He flits from one to another, always returning to his obsession with Madame Arnoux. He cannot decide on a career, vacillating between writer, painter, poet, politician, and lawyer. He is lucky in inheriting money but finds many ways to squander it. He is always searching for love but rarely finding it.
While Flaubert’s characters are not particularly likeable, with a few exceptions, they are believable. Flaubert indicts the moral vacuity of these characters. He infuses the narrative with a strong sense of irony. Published in 1869 and set in France in the 1840s, it covers a turbulent time in French history when events led to the abdication of Louis-Philippe, rise of the Second Republic, and rule by Napoleon III. Unlike many 19th century novels, the prose is not overly elaborate. I am always looking for opportunities to read about period history from those who lived it. I found it surprisingly relevant to today’s world.

On the morning of 15 September 1840 the Ville de Montereau was lying alongside the quai Saint-Bernard belching clouds of smoke, all ready to sail.

La maggior parte degli uomini che erano presenti avevano servito almeno quattro governi; e avrebbero venduto la Francia o il genere umano per garantire il loro patrimonio, risparmiarsi un disagio, una difficoltà, o anche semplicemente per bassezza, per adorazione istintiva del potere. Tutti dichiararono ingiustificabili i delitti politici. Bisognava piuttosto perdonare quelli che provenivano dal bisogno. E non mancarono di citare l'eterno esempio del padre di famiglia che ruba l'eterno pezzo di pane all'eterno fornaio.
[dalla Nota del traduttore (Lalla Romano)] L'effetto del linguaggio flaubertiano è quello di una vibrante, cangiante, infinita monotonia. … "L'educazione” non piacque, e Flaubert ne soffrì. … È probabile che questa «storia di un giovane», delle sue perplessità, gaffes, trasporti e delusioni, generosità e vigliaccherie, continui a deludere qualcuno; e analogamente il dover seguire il ritmo incalzante, rapido eppure monotono della narrazione, la casualità e insieme necessità degli intrecci.
