There is an antique old house near Rouen train station，The city government reproduced scenes from the novel "Madame Bovary" inside。The first floor is Emma’s wedding banquet，The long table is covered with a white tablecloth，There are various wine glasses on the tablecloth、Tableware and candles。The most attractive thing is Emma’s wedding cake model。The tour guide lets everyone watch，While reading to everyone the part about cake in the work。The second floor is Emma’s daughter’s room，There are exquisite wooden carvings and children's clothing。There are waist-cinching tutu skirts hanging in Emma’s clothing room，The skirt can be raised and lowered。The screen on the wall shows a film clip of Emma attending the dance。There is also a study room、Emma and Leon’s love nest，At the end there is a blue bottle of arsenic。The order bet365 joining bonus code tour guide’s explanation is exactly the same as the order bet365 joining bonus code development bet365 joining bonus code novel，It feels like I have read this masterpiece again。

Albert Fauret was a French sculptor in the late 19th century、Oil painter and illustrator，The Rouen Museum of Fine Arts has a dedicated exhibition room to display more than 40 of his "Madame Bovary" paintings。Except for one color oil painting，The rest are sketches。Oil painting titled "The Death of Madame Bovary"。There is a gray-white curtain on the bed on the right side bet365 joining bonus code screen，There is a big white candle beside the bed，Candlelight illuminates Emma’s body lying on the bed。She is wearing the white tutu she wore on her wedding day，A white wedding dress covering the head，She lowered her head，Close your eyes as if sleeping。Doctor Bovary stood bent over at the foot bet365 joining bonus code bed，Hold head in hands，Must be crying。There are two listless people sitting on the left side bet365 joining bonus code screen、Drowsy man。You can tell from the clothes that one is the drugstore owner Hao Mai，The other one wearing a small round hat is the priest。They were all indifferent to Emma's death。This painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1883，Acquired by the French government in 1890，Gifted to the city of Rouen in 2007。Among the exhibits is Emma dressing up、Walking、Undressing、Scenes of horseback riding and trysts with lovers。

1857，"Madame Bovary" was denounced by the French authorities as "indecent"，blasphemy of religion”，Both the author bet365 joining bonus code novel and the editor-in-chief of Paris Magazine, which published the novel at the time, were prosecuted。Flaubert’s lawyer defended himself well，Won the lawsuit，The novel can now be published publicly and become famous。Flaubert immediately devoted himself to the creation of his long-gestating historical novel "Salembo"。Salembo was the daughter bet365 joining bonus code consul of Carthage in the 3rd century BC，Is a priestess，Accompanying her is a giant python。The sacred object in Carthage legend is a divine garment，It can bring people victory，It will also bring death。Salambo has always wanted to see this magical garment，But the high priest disagrees，At this time, the barbarian mercenaries revolted because they did not receive military pay，The leader Mato falls in love with Salangbo，He stole the divine clothing and won。Salambo was asked by his boss to go to Mato’s camp to seduce him and steal back the national treasure。Salambo, who got the divine clothing, fell in love with Mato。But her father had military alliance considerations，Betrothed his daughter to Havas, the leader bet365 joining bonus code Numidian mercenaries。Mato was defeated in the end，Executed to death at the wedding of Salambo and Havas，Salambo suddenly fell to the ground and died after witnessing his tragic death。

Flaubert not only searched for documents in the National Library of France，Also went to Tunisia for fieldwork。It is said that bet365 joining bonus code notes have even become a reference for archaeologists。Flaubert took 5 years to complete this work。1962，The publication of "Salambo" made the 41-year-old writer famous all over the world again。The day when "Salambo" was said to be on sale，The conversation among people on the streets of France goes like this: "Where are you going？”“I went home and read Salambo，What about you？”“I’ll buy it now，Then go home and read。”

The exhibition of "Sarambo" is very rich，Not only oil paintings、Sculpture、Illustration，And photography、Movie、Opera costumes and scenery, etc.。The most common image shows the beauty of Salangbo female body，Or dance naked with snakes under the moon，Or draped in gauze and leaning on the beauty’s couch，Ethnic style decorations from head to toe，The "Orientalism" sentiment that has permeated the European art field since the 18th century。The war scenes in the exhibition are not horseback riding，But the majestic elephant battle。The divine clothing has also been embodied，Shaped like a floor-length cloak，Embroidered with gold and silver thread，Embellished with gems、Bird feathers and pearls。bet365 joining bonus code are more than 100 notebooks of Flaubert’s trip to Carthage，It is full of small characters and sketches of cultural relics，Leaved a very deep impression。

Croisset is a small town located next to Rouen，Flaubert lived here for 35 years，Created most of his works。The original buildings were destroyed，Only a pavilion in the corner bet365 joining bonus code garden has been preserved。This exhibition was reopened after renovation。Next to the lower reaches bet365 joining bonus code Seine，The river is wide，Rapid water flow，The river bank is overgrown with weeds，Wild and interesting。

Flaubert’s tomb is located on a hill northeast of Rouen。bet365 joining bonus code are four tombstones standing on his family cemetery，The two big ones in the middle are the tombs of his ancestors。The two smaller ones on the side，The tomb on the left reads: The body of Gustave Flaubert is buried here。Born in Rouen on December 12, 1821，Died in Croisset on May 8, 1880。

During his lifetime, Flaubert hated people adding illustrations to his works，So whether it is "Madame Bovary"，It’s still an illustration of “Sarambo”，They all began to appear after the author’s death in 1880。Literature is the art of imagination using words as a medium。A thousand readers will create a thousand Madame Bovary，So，Flaubert did not want an illustration of Madame Bovary to bury the imagination of all readers。Now bet365 joining bonus code are not only illustrations of Flaubert’s works in various editions，bet365 joining bonus code are also various periods、Films, TV shows and dramas in various languages，Even comics and games。Should Flaubert’s spirit in heaven be happy or sad？
