About this title: 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. n

"After reading "A Simple Heart", Felicite stayed on my mind for a long time. I used to know and love someone like her when I was a child. The writing is so simple, yet so touching."
"I learned that simplicity is so much difficult as it is complexity. One simple heart is so much important as it is the most complex, and nothing is more complex than a simple heart, in the sense that simplicity is the highest point of complexity."
