Summary "The Life-Work of Flaubert, from the Russian of Merejowski by Merezhkovsky" is a biographical exploration written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the life and psyche of Gustave Flaubert, a major figure in French literature, emphasizing the often tumultuous relationship between his artistic genius and personal life. It likely discusses the existential struggles Flaubert faced as he pursued his craft, examining themes of artistry, solitude, and the moral implications of genius. The work provides an in-depth analysis of Flaubert's thoughts on art, life, and the struggle for meaning. Through a series of letters and reflections, Flaubert articulates his belief that art transcends life, asserting that the creation of beauty becomes a form of worship. However, the text also highlights his internal conflicts, revealing a man who, despite his dedication to artistry, grappled with deep feelings of isolation and despair. It reflects on how his analytical nature often led him to feel detached from genuine human emotions and connections, emphasizing the paradox of his brilliance—imbued with a sense of melancholy and a yearning for fulfillment that remained elusive.
