Trois contes

RESUME: These three stories include "The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller," in which the hero is rescued from his humanity and its consequences by the grace of God; "A Simple Heart," one of Flaubert's most celebrated stories, in which a poor country woman who leads an exemplary life becomes obsessively devoted to her parrot, even after its death; and "Herodias," based on the legendary story of King Herod, Salome, and the head of John the Baptist.
