"Œuvres complètes de Gustave Flaubert, tome 6: Trois contes, suivis de mélanges…" by Gustave Flaubert is a collection of three novellas published in 1877. This work, which took nearly thirty years to complete, became Flaubert's final finished literary achievement. The collection spans three distinct historical periods: a medieval saint's legend, a contemporary portrait of a devoted servant's simple life in Normandy, and an ancient tale of Saint John the Baptist's beheading. Each story explores profound human devotion through different lenses of faith and sacrifice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
