From Flaubert, by Michel Winock, translated by Nicholas Elliott

SUCCESS

"Madame Bovary propelled Gustave Flaubert's name into literary history. It also changed the author's life. Suddenly people wanted to meet him, and he was invited all over town. He was now one of the top literary figures in the nation. Paris opened its arms to him; the hermit could become a socialite."

From Chapter 13, Life in Paris
