description: "He turned the novel into a laboratory. Flaubert's obsession wasn't plot or passion but the perfect sentence — each word weighed, each rhythm tested aloud. That grinding method produced Madame Bovary and made him the face of literary realism across Europe."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Gustave Flaubert was born in France on 12 December 1821. His debut novel, Madame Bovary, arrived in 1857 and secured his place as the leading exponent of literary realism in France and beyond. What set him apart wasn't just the work but the working: a scrupulous, near-torturous devotion to style and aesthetics that turned prose into architecture. His Correspondence became celebrated in its own right, mapping that discipline in real time. Guy de Maupassant, who would become a celebrated writer himself, studied under him. Flaubert died on 8 May 1880, leaving a method as influential as any single book.
