A Simple Soul 一颗简单的心（英文版） (English Edition)

It’s a story of Felicite, a simple, uneducated woman with a low IQ, who is, as many simple people, perfect at what she does; she is the perfect maid, highly respected for her work, a maid everyone would be happy to have. We read about her first love and feel for her, and how she saves her mistress, but is then exploited. Flaubert describes her yearnings, fears, reactions to deaths, her sublimated and highly unusual love for a parrot, and her final extremely sad years. We read throughout about her reliance on religion, which we know she doesn't understand. Although not in this story, we can well imagine that if a devil existed he would be laughing in derision at how God allowed such a good simple soul to be mistreated. This beautiful tale is filled with pathos. Flaubert explores the tragic and sad situation of many people who are simple, who lack sufficient intelligence to fully participate in life around them. They are ignored and secluded.
