Each temptation challenges St. Anthony's faith and resolve, pushing him to the brink of despair. Throughout the novel, Flaubert's prose is known for its vivid and imaginative descriptions, painting a surreal and dreamlike landscape where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur. St. Anthony's internal struggle is depicted as a tumultuous and hallucinatory journey, reflecting the complexities of human desire and spirituality. "The Temptation of St. Anthony" is a work of great philosophical and psychological depth, exploring themes of temptation, doubt, and the search for meaning in a world filled with distractions and illusions. Flaubert's novel is often considered a masterpiece of 19th-century literature, showcasing his talent for lyrical prose and profound introspection. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its exploration of the human psyche and the enduring questions it raises about the nature of faith and the human experience.

'The Temptation of Saint Anthony' is a dramatic poem in prose by the French author Gustave Flaubert, who is best-remembered today for writing Madame Bovary. Flaubert visited the Balbi Palace in Genoa, and was inspired by a painting of the same title, then attributed to Bruegel the Elder (now thought to be by one of his followers). It takes as its subject the famous temptation faced by Saint Anthony the Great, in the Egyptian desert, a theme often repeated in medieval and modern art. It is written in the form of a play script, detailing one night in the life of Anthony the Great, during which he is faced with great temptations.

Pages : 184
Book Description
An ambitious novel of ideas set against a phantasmagoric Sydney. ~J. M. Coetzee A defrocked priest, Antony Elm, has made his way into a desert outside Alice Springs, where he intends to stay for forty days and forty nights. He is undergoing a crisis of faith and has brought with him the typescript for a book he has failed to finish about a meeting between Albert Einstein and the French philosopher Henri Bergson. This story concerns a crisis of understanding, as Bergson confronts Einstein about the meaning of time. On the back of his typescript Antony writes another story, somehow close to his heart, which concerns two young men traveling to Sydney from Canberra for the first time in the early 1980s. This story about a crisis of love takes place in a single night as the boys encounter temptation, damnation, and salvation in the world of alternative music. Antony becomes increasingly delirious, observing temptations of the flesh and spirit, scribbling in the margins of his two unspooling narratives, awaiting a rescue that may or may not come.
