Sentimental Education: The Story of a Young Man'For certain men the stronger their desire, the less likely they are to act.' With his first glimpse of Madame Arnoux, Frederic Moreau is convinced he has found his romantic destiny, but when he pursues her to Paris the young student is unable to translate his passion into decisive action. He also finds himself distracted by the equally romantic appeal of political action in the turbulent years leading up to the revolution of 1848, and by the
'For certain men the stronger their desire, the less likely they are to act.' With his first glimpse of Madame Arnoux, Frederic Moreau is convinced he has found his romantic destiny, but when he pursues her to Paris the young student is unable to translate his passion into decisive action. He also finds himself distracted by the equally romantic appeal of political action in the turbulent years leading up to the revolution of 1848, and by the attractions of three other women, each of whom seeks to make him her own: a haughty society lady, a capricious courtesan, and an artless country girl. Flaubert offers a vivid and unsparing portrait of the young men of his generation, struggling to salvage something of their ideals in a city where corruption, consumerism, and a pervasive sense of disenchantment undermine all but the most compromised erotic, aesthetic, and social initiatives. Sentimental Education combines thoroughgoing irony with an impartial but unexpectedly intense sympathy in a novel whose realism competes with that of Balzac and whose innovations in narrative plot and perspective mark a turning-point in the development of literary modernism.

Bright color & true to size
Color: Red, Size: Twin(60"x80")
I ordered red. Color was vibrant although it has a touch of Orange - not the deep red I thought I would get. Funky chemical smell when I opened it - it went away after I spread it out for a few hours. It's soft with hemmed edges. A little thin but OK for the bed I ordered it for. Price was right & I would probably order additional colors if warranted in the future. It arrived quick.

Cozy Blanket Burrito….awesome!
Color: Brown, Size: King(108"x90")
The king size chocolate brown fleece blanket has quickly become my go-to for comfort and style, making it a must-have in my home. It feels like being wrapped in a cloud—if clouds were soft, warm, and available on Amazon. LOL Seriously, the softness is so delightful and drapes perfectly over my king-sized bed, ensuring I stay warm and cozy during those chilly nights, or when my husband tries to steal the covers. Plus, the rich chocolate brown color adds a touch of sophistication to my bedroom, making it look like I've stepped straight out of a home decor magazine—if only my life were so stylish! It also cleverly hides pet hair, so I'm not living in a fur-tastic disaster zone. After multiple washes, it’s still holding up like a champ, remaining soft and pilling-free. In short, this blanket is the perfect blend of warmth and humor—it's not just a blanket; it's a lifestyle choice. Highly recommended for anyone who loves snuggling, practicality, and a bit of style—because let’s be honest, we all need a little extra warmth in life, especially when doing the classic “blanket burrito” on the couch!

Very soft
Color: Navy, Size: Twin(60"x80")
Very soft and comfortable. Appearance is just like it is described. A little smaller than expected but still very good quality and worked for what was needed.
