Flaubert''s Cultural Personality and the Contemporary Implication in His Novels
福楼拜的文化人格与小说的现代文化意蕴

Gustave Flaubert holds that what is physical and bodily cannot be eternal; therefore, human life is in essence nihilisticand agonizing. His cultural personality goes far from modem Christianity-humanistic cultural system of value, but approaches contem-porary irrationalistic cultural system of value. And his literary creation, with a cultural and philosphical interpreatation of the value andmeaning of human life, posseses contemporary cultural implications.
