Description
"Bouvard and Pécuchet: A Tragi-comic Novel of Bourgeois Life, part 1" by Gustave Flaubert is an unfinished satirical novel published in 1881. Two Parisian copy-clerks meet by chance and become inseparable friends. When one inherits a fortune, they move to the French countryside and embark on an ambitious quest for knowledge.

Their misadventures expose the hidden weaknesses of human understanding while alienating them from their provincial neighbors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
