Abstract

This study analyses the movement between the two most radically different works of Gustave Flaubert: Madame Bovary and La tentation de Saint Antoine. In the fi rst one, facing bourgeois subjects and effecting a crude observation of his present time, the writer pursues the principles of literary realism. In the second one, totally distant from the principles of realistic verisimilitude, Flaubert is guided by an uncontrolled lyrism, using mystic subjects and letting fl ow his highest thematic aspirations. From the hardest concern with order to a fascination regarding mystic dissolution, the writing’s exercise, in Flaubert, would respond to an attempt to conciliate the love of form and the desire of formless.
