The legend of Saint Julian Hard Kufr

In 1877, Flaubert began writing his short stories, starting with "A Innocent Heart," which he published as a series in a French newspaper, followed by "The Legend of Saint Julian" and "Herodias," published in the French newspaper "Le Figaro." Afterwards, George Charpentier collected these stories under the title "Three Tales." All these stories were written under complex circumstances. In this work, he was able to immerse us in the details of the events without realizing that we are moving between characters, places, and feelings smoothly and simply. He was able to narrate the details skillfully and perhaps exaggerated the description of things and nature at the expense of the narration, but this is exactly what Flaubert wanted to do and focus on. When you start reading, you will build a picture of the places, the attire of the characters, their homes, and their works as if you are hearing the story from their very location, as he managed to satisfy the reader with the atmosphere of his stories. Although the three stories take place in different times and have different ideas, we were able to move between them without confusion. In addition to sharing the themes of faith, pain, fear, and hope, they also distinguished themselves by being standalone works based on the strength of style, mastery of narration, and incorporating the reader's imagination into the course of events.
