Summary: "Un coeur simple" by Gustave Flaubert is a short story written during the late 19th century. The book explores the life of Félicité, a devoted servant, and it delves into themes of unrequited love, devotion, and the often-overlooked lives of working-class individuals. It presents a poignant narrative that reflects on the simplicity and complexity of human emotions and experiences. The story follows Félicité’s life as she serves her employer, Madame Aubain, in the provincial town of Pont-l'Évêque. Félicité's background is marked by hardship and love lost, and she finds solace in her work and attachment to the children she cares for. Despite her steadfast dedication, her life is steeped in a series of tragedies, including the loss of loved ones and her own isolation, which reflects the deeper themes of longing and existential sorrow. Flaubert employs rich imagery and deep emotional resonance to capture Félicité's experiences, ultimately portraying a life filled with both love and loss as she clings to her memories and the companionship of her pet parrot, Loulou. In the end, Félicité’s life fades quietly, symbolizing the fragility of existence and the enduring nature of devotion, making the narrative a deeply moving exploration of a 'simple heart.'
