November (Flaubert)
''November'' ((フランス語:Novembre)) was Gustave Flaubert's first completed work, a novella first completed in 1842.〔Frederick Brown: ''Flaubert: A Life'': London: Pimlico: 2007: 115〕
==Synopsis==
In the first part of the novella, the narrator is a schoolboy, and the narrative consists of his meditations on life, as well as his longing for sexual awakening and the beginning of his adult life. He perceives himself as a voyeur, witnessing couples, sumptuous dining rooms, professionals at work and scenes of family life.〔Frederick Brown: ''Flaubert: A Life'': London: Pimlico: 2007: 111〕
In the second part, the young author loses his virginity with Marie, a worldly- wise courtesan who recounts her personal story of erotic experience. Initially, she was a virginal sixteen-year-old until she was unwillingly married to an elderly suitor who wanted a younger mistress. In return for her acquiescence, though, she has acquired sexual freedom and experience. However, as the reader later learns, she subsequently becomes a tabula rasa, providing her body for the enjoyment of men, but not her individuality or personality.〔Frederick Brown: ''Flaubert: A Life:'' London: Pimlico: 2000: 112-113〕
In the concluding section of the novella, the adolescent narrator tries to revisit Marie, but the courtesan and her brothel of residence have vanished. The narrator takes up study toward a legal career, but has already eschewed marriage or professional life. Eventually, he dies.〔Frederick Brown: ''Flaubert: A Life:'' London: Pimlico: 2000: 114〕
