Gustave Flaubert
Gustave Flaubert (1821-80) is considered to be one of the most
important French novelists of the nineteenth century. He's most well
known for his novel Madame Bovary, and for his desire to write
"a book about nothing," a novel in which all external elements,
especially the presence of the author, have been eliminated, leaving
nothing but style itself. Often considered a member of the naturalist school, Flaubert despised categorizations of this sort, and in novels like Bouvard and Pécuchet demonstrates the inaptness of this label. In addition to these two novels, he is also the author of A Sentimental Education, Salambo, Three Tales, and The Temptation of Saint Anthony.
