Kuszenie świętego Antoniego

Gustaw Flaubert

Najważniejsze dzieło Gustavea Flauberta, które sam autor nazywał dziełem całego swojego życia. Powstawało ono dwadzieścia pięć lat w trzech różnych wersjach. Ostatecznie autor zdecydował się wydać ostatnią z nich w 1874 roku. Święty Antoni spotyka się z wyznawcami różnych wierzeń, od chrześcijaństwa po heretyków, cudotwórców, szamanów, przedstawiających swoje poglądy i wiarę w Boga, co podważa jego wiarę i dotychczasową widzę o otaczającym go świecie.
