| Discussion: Gustave Flaubert I love him >>By Emma Hi Emma, are you stll there? I collect old and recent editions of Madame Bovary books, CD's, DVD's Cassettes, in all languages. About 200 and growing. Criteria: Must not be a duplicate (obviously); must have one or more of the following: Illustrated inside Illustrated cover Preface or introduction Footnotes or back notes or remarks Be a new translation (I have identified 12 primary translations, plus 3 or 4 sub-translations, i.e. variations on of the primary translations) Be reasonably priced, which depends on a lot of variables but no first editions. New edition of one in the current collection, which means one of the above items are different or updated Be in a language I don't have now (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian) I also collect Biographies of Flaubert, his friends, his girl friends, his family; also secondary literature, Cliffs Notes type items, other works by Flaubert (which meet the above criteria) in French German or English- the only languages I read. (Other authors with small collections like the above: Thomas Mann, Balzac (Pere Goriot only as collectable), Nietzche, Goethe, Schiller, any turn of century text book of "classics" that have original text and foot notes or vocabularies and introductions. ) Any kindred spirits out there?
