In their own words
I was struck by how Flaubert describes the generation of 1848, a generation which was caught in something they could not understand. And I felt that there was a kind of parallel with this younger generation during World War II.
I reread Flaubert's *Sentimental Education* and was struck by how he describes the generation of 1848, caught in something they could not understand. I felt there was a parallel with the younger generation during World War II.
