| Summary | "Œuvres complètes de Gustave Flaubert, tome 5: La tentation de saint Antoine" is a dramatic literary work inspired by the life of Saint Anthony, likely written in the late 19th century. The text explores the inner conflict and temptations faced by Saint Anthony, primarily centered on his spiritual struggles and the allure of earthly desires. This approach to the subject artfully blends philosophical inquiry with vivid imagery and intense narrative. The opening of the work introduces us to the setting—a solitary mountain in the Thebaid, where Saint Anthony lives as a hermit. As the chapter unfolds, we witness his deep sense of dissatisfaction with his life of asceticism, reflecting on his past, relationships, and the emptiness that haunts his existence. He battles against a series of temptations, including visions of wealth, lust, and power, which challenge his commitment to faith. In this initial portion, the protagonist's longing for connection and fear of temptation unveil a complex character grappling with personal despair, making for a rich exploration of spirituality and human desire.
