A young man from the provinces boards a riverboat heading home, and in a single moment, his life changes - though not in any way he could predict, or that anyone around him would notice.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrédéric Moreau is nineteen, ambitious, and full of feeling that has nowhere to go. In the years that follow, he will pursue a career in law, then abandon it. He will move in the glittering circles of Parisian society - artists, journalists, financiers, revolutionaries - and fail to become any of them. He will fall in love, repeatedly and inconclusively. And he will carry, through all of it, an attachment to a woman he met on that riverboat: Madame Arnoux, older, married, and utterly unattainable - the fixed point around which his entire aimless life quietly revolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the Revolution of 1848 and the rise of Napoleon III's Second Empire, \u003ci\u003eSentimental Education\u003c\/i\u003e is Flaubert's portrait of a generation: young men who arrived in Paris with grand ambitions and watched history swallow them whole. It is a novel about love that is never consummated, politics that leads nowhere, and time - above all, time - and what it does to the people who believed, once, that everything was still possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBy the author of \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e.
