More about the book

The book presents a vivid and imaginative exploration of the temptations faced by the hermit saint, often seen as the founder of monasticism, through a dramatic prose poem. Initially met with harsh criticism, the author, Flaubert, revisited and extensively revised the work before ultimately publishing it as a reflection of his life's achievements. The narrative delves into themes of faith, solitude, and the struggles of spiritual existence.
