Flauberts

Flauberts is the plural form of the French surname Flaubert, used to refer to members of the Flaubert family or to individuals bearing the name. It does not designate a specific organization, place, or known collective entity.

The surname is of French origin and is most commonly found in France and in regions with historical French influence. As a family name, it has been borne by several individuals, though the best-known bearer is Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880), the French novelist whose work helped define literary realism in the 19th century.

Gustave Flaubert is celebrated for such works as Madame Bovary (1857), Salammbô (1862), and Sentimental Education (1869). His meticulous style and insistence on stylistic precision influenced later generations of writers and established a model of objectivity in narrative prose.

Apart from Gustave Flaubert, there are other people who have borne the surname, but none have achieved comparable notability on a broad, international scale. Consequently, the term Flauberts is primarily encountered in reference to or in plural discussions of the Flaubert family name rather than as an institution or distinct entity.
