Summary

The Complete Works of Gustave Flaubert represents a monumental collection of the literary genius's output, showcasing his mastery of style, form, and language. Flaubert's meticulous attention to detail and innovative narrative techniques are evident across his acclaimed novels, short stories, and essays. This volume includes his groundbreaking work 'Madame Bovary,' where he employs a realist narrative to explore themes of passion, disillusionment, and societal constraints, set against the backdrop of 19th-century France. Flaubert's literary style is characterized by its precision, rich imagery, and an abiding commitment to capturing the complexities of human emotion. Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880) was a pioneering figure in the development of literary realism, influenced by his extensive travels, deep intellectual pursuits, and philosophical inquiries. His relationships with contemporaries, including fellow writers like George Sand and the impact of the tumultuous political landscape in France, deeply informed his literary voice. Flaubert's relentless pursuit of artistic perfection and willingness to tackle themes of existentialism positioned him as a pivotal force in modern literature. This collection is a must-read for any literary enthusiast, offering a profound understanding of not only Flaubert's artistic vision but also his reflections on the human condition.

    “Written with grace and emotional honesty, Sit, Stay, Heal will live with you long after the last page.”— John Grogan, bestselling author of Marley & Me 
For more than two decades, esteemed veterinary oncologist Dr. Renee Alsarraf treated cancer in her beloved canine patients. Then, at age fifty-one, she was diagnosed with cancer herself. 
Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well is Dr. Renee’s unforgettable testament to the extraordinary healing nature of dogs. Every day in her veterinary practice, she bears witness to the undeniable bond between pets and their people. However, while we are busy teaching them to “sit” and “stay,” they have their own, more profound, lessons to impart. In Sit, Stay, Heal, we meet Cosmo, the golden retriever who arrives at Renee’s office just before his fourteenth family vacation to the beach; Daisy, the cocker spaniel, an emotional support dog for a special needs child; and Franny, the bloodhound, a police dog who wasn’t ready to retire from the force. Then there’s Dr. Renee’s own dog Newtie, who falls ill when she needs him most. 
Our dogs are wise in ways humans are not. For Dr. Renee, it was her patients—those furry, four-legged, slobbering animals—who seemed to uniquely understand her difficult journey and who showed her the true power of positivity and unconditional love. Full of life lessons and healing metaphors, perfect dogs and their imperfect humans, Sit, Stay, Heal is a captivating, heartwarming story for dog lovers far and wide.

    A feminist reinterpretation of the myths surrounding Cleopatra casts new light on the Egyptian queen and her legacy 
 
The siren passionately in love with Mark Antony, the seductress who allegedly rolled out of a carpet she had herself smuggled in to see Caesar, Cleopatra is a figure shrouded in myth. Beyond the legends immortalized by Plutarch, Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and others, there are no journals or letters written by Cleopatra herself. All we have to tell her story are words written by others. 
 
What has it meant for our understanding of Cleopatra to have had her story told by writers who had a political agenda, authors who distrusted her motives, and historians who believed she was a liar? Francine Prose delves into ancient Greek and Roman literary sources, as well as modern representations of Cleopatra in art, theater, and film. She challenges the common narratives driven by orientalism and misogyny and offers a new interpretation of Cleopatra’s history from the lens of our own era.
