Gustave Flaubert

Gustave Flaubert (UK: /'flo?b??r/ FLOH-bair, US: /flo?'b??r/ floh-BAIR, French: [gystav flob??]; 12 December 1821 – 8 May 1880) was a French novelist.

Highly influential, he has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country.According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality".

He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics.

The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.On the occasion of Flaubert's 198th birthday (12 December 2019), a group of researchers at CNRS published a neural language model under his name.
