Sentimental Education
Do the grand ideals and passions of youth eventually erode with the passage of time?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first came to this novel, the irresolution of its hero Frédéric and the endless repetition of his disillusionment felt frustrating to me. Yet Flaubert's insight perceives that the truth of life lies precisely within that tedious, compromising daily round. His gaze, dissecting how young men once swollen with romantic illusion become, through revolution and love, ordinary and philistine adults, is frighteningly precise. Reading the slow cooling of youth's brilliant dreams under the weight of reality, you will know a deep sympathy.
