After three unhappy years of studying  law in Paris, an epileptic attack ushered him into a life of writing. \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e  won instant acclaim upon book publication in 1857, but Flaubert's frank  display of adultery in bourgeois France saw him go on trial for  immorality, only narrowly escaping conviction. Both \u003ci\u003eSalammbo\u003c\/i\u003e (1862) and \u003ci\u003eThe Sentimental Education \u003c\/i\u003e(1869) were poorly received, and Flaubert's genius was not publicly recognized until \u003ci\u003eThree Tales\u003c\/i\u003e  (1877). His reputation among his fellow writers, however, was more  constant and those who admired him included Turgenev, George Sand,  Victor Hugo and Zola. Flaubert's obsession with his art is legendary: he  would work for days on a single page, obsessively attuning sentences,  seeking always \u003ci\u003ele mot juste\u003c\/i\u003e in a quest for both beauty and  precise observation. His style moved Edmund Wilson to say,'Flaubert, by a  single phrase - a notation of some commonplace object - can convey all  the poignance of human desire, the pathos of human defeat; his  description of some homely scene will close with a dying fall that  reminds one of great verse or music.' Flaubert died suddenly in May  1880, leaving his last work, \u003ci\u003eBouvard and Pécuchet\u003c\/i\u003e, unfinished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam Thorpe\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Paris in 1956.
