"Bouvard and Pechuchet: a tragicomic novel about bourgeois life, part 1" is the masterpiece of Gustave Flaubert, a French writer of the 19th century. This book skillfully tells the story of two amateur friends who decided to study all possible sciences and fields of knowledge, but clumsily and without results. The author's satirical view of bourgeois morality and society makes this novel profound and at the same time humorous. Readers will have the opportunity to dive into the world of learning and self-improvement, which, as it turns out, can lead to the most comical and unexpected consequences."
